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

This study was undertaken to evaluate the utility of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry with the Vitek MS Plus system for identifying Mycobacterium abscessus subspecies in order to facilitate more rapid and appropriate therapy. A total of 175 clinical M. abscessus strains were identified by whole-genome sequencing analysis: 139 Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. abscessus and 36 Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. massiliense The research-use-only (RUO) Saramis Knowledge Base database v.4.12 was modified accordingly by adding 40 M. abscessus subsp. abscessus and 19 M. abscessus subsp. massiliense reference spectra to construct subspecies SuperSpectra. A blind test, used to validate the remaining 116 isolates, yielded 99.1% (n = 115) reliability and only 0.9% (n = 1) error for subspecies identification. Among the two subspecies SuperSpectra, two specific peaks were found for M. abscessus subsp. abscessus and four specific peaks were found for M. abscessus subsp. massiliense Our study is the first to report differential peaks 3,354.4 m/z and 6,711.1 m/z, which were specific for M. abscessus subsp. massiliense Our research demonstrates the capacity of the Vitek MS RUO Saramis Knowledge Base database to identify M. abscessus at the subspecies level. Moreover, it validates the potential ease and accuracy with which it can be incorporated into the IVD system for the identification of M. abscessus subspecies.
