Performance of five molecular methods for monitoring Arcobacter spp.
Article in BMC microbiology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundBacteria belonging to the Arcobacter genus are emerging enteropathogens and potential zoonotic agents. Their taxonomy has evolved very rapidly, and there are presently 18 recorded species. The prevalence of species belonging to Arcobacter is underestimated because of the limitations of currently available methods for species identification.The aim of this study was to compare the performance of five PCR based methods that target regions of 16S rRNA, 23S rRNA or gyrA genes to identify Arcobacter species, and to review previous results reported in the literature using these methods.
resultsThe five tested methods were found not to be reliable. They misidentified between 16.8% and 67.4% of the studied strains; this was dependent upon the target regions of the tested genes. The worst results obtained were for the identification of Arcobacter cryaerophilus and Arcobacter butzleri when the 23S rRNA gene was used as the target. These species were confused with many non-targeted species.
conclusionOur results suggest that the known diversity of Arcobacter spp. in different environments could be expanded if reliable identification methods are applied in future studies.
