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

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) identification of mycobacteria requires a standard acetonitrile/formic acid pre-MALDI-TOF-MS. We prospectively compared this standard protocol with direct deposit with matrix for the identification of mycobacteria cultured on solid media. We first verified that Mycobacterium tuberculosis was killed after it was mixed with matrix. Then, 111 Mycobacterium isolates previously identified by partial rpoB gene sequencing were tested in parallel by the two protocols. An identification score >1.7 was obtained in 86/111 (77.5 %) isolates after protein extraction versus 97/111 (87.4 %) isolates after direct deposit (p = 0.039, Chi-squared test). In a third step, we determined that direct deposit achieved identification for as few as 2.10
