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

During the last decade, many investigators have studied matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for identification of mycobacteria. Diverse and contradictory results indicated that optimal level for routine testing has not been reached yet. This work aimed to assess Vitek MS through two distinct versions, Saramis v4.12 RUO and the IVD v3.0, under conditions close to routine laboratory practice. Overall, 111 mycobacterial isolates were subjected to protein extraction and same spectra were matched against both databases. The IVD v3.0 database proved to be superior to Saramis v4.12 and its identification rates remarkably increased, from 67% to 94% for isolates grown on Middlebrook 7H10 solid medium and from 62% to 91% for isolates grown on mycobacterial growth indicator tube (MGIT) liquid medium. With this new version, IVD v3.0, MALDI-TOF MS might be integrated into routine clinical diagnostics, although molecular techniques remain mandatory in some cases.
