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

introduction

aimTo compare the conventional tests with a commercial available kit for reliable, cost effective identification and confirmation of MATERIALS AND

methodsThe current prospective study was conducted in the Department of Clinical Pathology, Haffkine Institute for a period of six months. A total of 341 clinical isolates of staphylococci isolated from pus, urine, blood culture and sterile body fluids were subjected to conventional tests like Tube Coagulase Test (TCT) using Rabbit Plasma (RP) and Human Plasma (HP), culture media such as Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) and Deoxyribonuclease (DNase) media in parallel to Hiaureus

resultsAmongst the coagulase based tests, HACCK was 100% sensitive and specific. The TCT using RP was 98.58% sensitive while TCT using HP was less sensitive (95.37%). A total of 100% specificity was observed for TCT using RP while TCT using HP was 96.68% specific. The MSA and DNase media were 97.86% vs 96.44% and 96.67% vs 91.67% sensitive and specific respectively. The combination tests had varying sensitivity and specificity ranges. The HACCK demonstrated 100% concordance with

conclusionThe HACCK can be used as an exclusive, reliable and cost effective test for identification of
