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

introductionThe purpose of this study is to develop a nuc and mecA gene specific Loop-mediated isothermal Amplification (LAMP) assay for rapid identification and detection of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus among clinical isolates. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 100 (70 from pus and 30 from blood), clinical isolates of Staphylococcus spp were screened for the nuc gene to differentiate between S.aureus and Coagulase negative Staphylococci (CONS) by a nuc gene specific LAMP assay. The isolates were also screened for the presence of the mec Agene by the mecA specific LAMP assay. The results were compared with the phenotypic identification and methicillin resistance by Vitek-2 system (bioMérieux, Marcy l'Etoile, France) and conventional PCR.

resultsAmong 100 Staphylococcus isolates, there were 82 (82%) Staphylococcus aureus isolates and 18 (18%) coagulase negative Staphylococcus as detected by the Vitek 2, conventional PCR and the LAMP assay using the nuc gene. The mecA gene was detected by the LAMP assay in 56(56%) isolates (44 Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and 12 Methicillin resistant coagulase negative Staphylococcus (MRCONS), which were also identified by the Vitek 2 and conventional PCR as methicillin resistant. The results of the LAMP assay were available within 90min as compared to the Vitek 2 results (18- 24hours) and conventional PCR (3-4 hours).

conclusionThe present study proved that LAMP assay can be used for the simultaneous differentiation of Staphylococcal spp and detection of methicillin resistance.
