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

objectivesTo identify the gram-negative rods grown from blood cultures and a right-knee fluid aspirate from an 80-year-old caucasian man who had undergone a total right knee arthroplastic procedure 6 years ago, and to assess the genetic similarity between the 2 isolates.

methodsWe used 3 different approaches: biochemical testing, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry, and 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing.

resultsThe 3 methods identified the gram-negative rods as Pasteurella multocida; 16S rRNA gene sequencing further identified the organisms as P. multocida subsp. septica.

conclusionA concordant identification of P. multocida was observed using biochemical testing, mass spectrometry, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Only 16S rRNA sequencing was able to determine the subspecies of P. multocida and to determine the genetic relatedness of the 2 isolates.
