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

A real-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR) assay using the recombinant thermostable Thermus thermophilus (rTth) enzyme was developed to detect and quantify rotavirus A (RVA). By using rTth polymerase, significant improvement was achieved over the existing real-time RT-PCR assays, which require denaturation of the RVA double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) prior to assay setup. Using a dsRNA transcript for segment 7, which encodes the assay target NSP3 gene, the limit of detection for the improved assay was calculated to be approximately 1 genome copy per reaction. The NSP3 qRT-PCR assay was validated using a panel of 1,906 stool samples, 23 reference RVA strains, and 14 nontarget enteric virus samples. The assay detected a diverse number of RVA genotypes and did not detect other enteric viruses, demonstrating analytical sensitivity and specificity for RVA in testing stool samples. A XenoRNA internal process control was introduced and detected in a multiplexed qRT-PCR format. Because it does not require an antecedent dsRNA denaturation step, this assay reduces the possibility of sample cross-contamination and requires less hands-on time than other published qRT-PCR protocols for RVA detection.
