Enumeration of mutans streptococci in clinical samples by using monoclonal antibodies.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 1990. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Mutans streptococci have been strongly associated with dental caries. Two members of this group of bacteria, Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus, are often found in human dental plaque. Identification of mutans streptococci on the basis of sugar fermentation is troublesome and easily leads to erroneous conclusions. Furthermore, the recovery on selective media differs for different species. This causes incorrect enumeration of S. mutans and S. sobrinus in clinical samples. The aim of this study was to develop a method for simultaneous identification and enumeration of S. mutans and S. sobrinus in dental plaque and saliva samples. With this immunoblot technique (IBT), significantly more plaque samples containing S. sobrinus were detected than on the selective medium Trypticase-yeast-cysteine-sucrose-bacitracin agar (TYCSB) (P less than 0.01). The numbers of plaque samples harboring S. mutans were equal on TYCSB and by IBT. However, the numbers of CFU of S.mutans as well as of S. sobrinus detected with the IBT were significantly higher than those obtained on TYCSB (P less than 0.001). The recovery of primary isolations of S. sobrinus on TYCSB seems to have been inhibited in 26 of the 45 S. sobrinus-containing plaque samples. False-positive or false-negative reactions with the IBT were not found.
