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

In a clinical setting, molecular assays such as polymerase chain reaction offer a rapid means to infer or confirm identity and therapeutic decisions. Accordingly, a number of molecular assays targeting identity and antibiotic resistance (AR) genes have been developed; however, these methods can be technically complex and relatively expensive. Herein, we describe a diagnostic concept utilizing isothermal amplification technology with non-purified heat-lysed cells and self-dispensing cards for testing multiple primers in parallel. This proof-of-concept study, performed with Staphylococcus aureus isolates and associated AR genes, was compared with culture-based susceptibility and quantitative PCR (qPCR). Results demonstrate reduced sample processing steps resulting in a turnaround time (starting from bacterial culture to ending in the antibiotic resistance gene profile) in less than 30 min. For antibiotics tested in which an associated AR gene was targeted on the Gene-Z card, 69% (18/26) of culture-based resistance events were positive for related AR genes. A comparison of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and qPCR assays targeting the same antibiotic resistance genes showed a 98.2% agreement in terms of presence and absence calls. Identity-based discrepancies between conventional (phenotypic) and molecular (genotypic) results were further resolved, and we were able to demonstrate higher accuracy in identification with the molecular analysis.
