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

backgroundInfluenza A virus is a leading causative pathogen of human acute respiratory infection. Recently, the co-circulation of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 and seasonal H3N2 viruses was reported, and sporadic cases with reassortant avian H7N9 virus are continually reported in China. We aimed to establish a multiplex one-step real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) assay to simultaneously detect and discriminate FluA subtypes, including human seasonal H3N2 virus, pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus and reassortant avian H7N9 virus, in one reaction tube.

methodsClinical samples, including throat swabs and sputum, were collected from the patients with influenza-like illness (ILIs). Total viral RNA from each sample or viral culture was extracted, and the specific detection of FluA virus and its subtypes was performed using a multiplex rRT-PCR assay.

resultsThe limitation of detection (LOD) of the multiplex assay was 5.4 × 10

conclusionsThese findings indicate that the multiplex assay can simultaneously detect and discriminate FluA subtypes with reliable sensitivity and specificity, which is required for the early clinical diagnosis and viral surveillance of patients with FluA infection.
