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

Burkholderia cenocepacia is the most prevalent and feared member of the Burkholderia cepacia complex in lung infections of cystic fibrosis (CF). Genotyping and monitoring of long-term colonization are critical at clinical units; however, the differentiation of specific lineages performed by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) is still limited to a small number of isolates due to the high cost and time-consuming procedure. The aim of this study was to optimize a protocol (the SNaPBcen assay) for extensive bacterial population studies. The strategy used for the SNaPBcen assay is based on targeting single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in MLST genes instead of sequencing full MLST sequences. Nonpolymorphic and redundant MLST positions were eliminated, and a set of 24 polymorphisms included in the SNaPBcen assay ensures a high-resolution genomic characterization. These polymorphisms were identified based on the comparative analysis of 137 B. cenocepacia MLST profiles available online (http://pubmlst.org/bcc/). The group of 81 clinical isolates of B. cenocepacia examined in this study using the SNaPBcen assay revealed 51 distinct profiles, and a final discriminatory power of 0.9997 compared with MLST was determined. The SNaPBcen assay was able to reveal isolates with microvariations and the presence of multiple clonal variants in patients chronically colonized with B. cenocepacia. Main phylogenetic subgroups IIIA, IIIB, and IIIC of B. cenocepacia could be separated by the Gl94R polymorphism included in the panel. The SNaPBcen assay proved to be a rapid and robust alternative to the standard MLST for B. cenocepacia, allowing the simultaneous analysis of multiple polymorphisms following amplification and mini-sequencing reactions.
