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

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is the etiological agent of Johne's disease in ruminants and a probable pathogen of Crohn's disease in humans. Accurate, cost-effective, and time-relevant diagnostics are the basis for efficient control programs. This study was conducted as an attempt to re-evaluate MAP detection improvement by coupling solid media enrichment to a more specific IS900 conventional PCR and a very specific F57/IC real-time PCR. In a spiking experiment, we investigated the improvement of molecular-based MAP detection in feces after a culture-based enrichment step into Herrold's egg yolk media with mycobactin J (HEYM-MJ) for different time intervals, when compared to traditional culture. Detection limit of culture was 0.33 × 10(4) bacteria × g(-1) (33 CFU g(-1)), while that of IS900 PCR when coupled with an enrichment step for 2, 4, and 6 weeks was 0.33 × 10(5) (0.33 × 10(3) CFU g(-1)), 0.33 × 10(4) (33 CFU g(-1)), and 33 (>3.3 CFU g(-1)) bacteria × g(-1), respectively. Whereas the detection limits of F57/IC real-time PCR after the enrichment step for the same time intervals were 0.33 × 10(5) (0.33 × 10(3) CFU g(-1)), 0.33 × 10(3) (3.3 CFU g(-1)), and 33 (>3.3 CFU g(-1)) bacteria × g(-1), respectively. Altogether, enrichment of bovine fecal samples into solid media increased the sensitivity of specific molecular detection of MAP using IS900 conventional PCR and duplex F57/IC real-time PCR and offers an expedited and accurate alternative for MAP detection in bovine feces. Validation of these results is further recommended using field bovine fecal samples.
