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

Targeted sequencing promises to bring next-generation sequencing (NGS) into routine clinical use for infectious disease diagnostics. In this context, upfront processing techniques, including pathogen signature enrichment, must amplify multiple targets of interest for NGS to be relevant when applied to patient samples with limited volumes. Here, we demonstrate an optimized molecular inversion probe (MIP) assay targeting multiple variable regions within the 16S ribosomal gene for the identification of biothreat and ESKAPE pathogens in a process that significantly reduces complexity, labor, and processing time. Probes targeting the Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) antibiotic resistance (AR) gene were also included to demonstrate the ability to concurrently identify etiologic agent and ascertain valuable secondary genetic information. Our assay captured gene sequences in 100% of mock clinical samples prepared from flagged positive blood culture bottles. Using a simplified processing and adjudication method for mapped sequencing reads, genus and species level concordance was 100% and 80%, respectively. In addition, sensitivity and specificity for KPC gene detection was 100%. Our MIP assay produced sequenceable amplicons for the identification of etiologic agents and the detection of AR genes directly from blood culture bottles in a simplified single tube assay.
