1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Contamination of Cronobacter spp. (Enterobacter sakazakii) in infant formulas and other food products is a severe problem. Here a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay was developed for rapidly detecting Cronobacter spp. in powdered infant formula. Sequences of 16S/23S rDNA internal intergenic spacer of Cronobacter spp. were used as the target template to design LAMP primers. The detection outcome can be evaluated by the white precipitate or the fluorescence intensity under ultraviolet irradiation, both visible to naked eyes. The sensitivity and specificity of the LAMP assay was further analyzed in comparison with that of regular PCR and real time quantitative PCR. The results showed that all of Cronobacter spp. strains display positive reaction to the detections while all of the non-Cronobacter spp. strains were negative, and that the LAMP assay exhibits a high sensitivity of 9.1 fg/μL (The sensitivity of regular PCR and real time quantitative PCR is 91 and 9.1 pg/μL, respectively.). The amplified reaction could be accomplished in about 1 h, with the results visible to naked eyes. Hence, the LAMP assay developed by this study can provide a rapid and simple approach for the detection of Cronobacter spp. in infant formula.
