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

Recent studies have demonstrated that at least eight subtypes of avian influenza virus (AIV) can infect humans, including H1, H2, H3, H5, H6, H7, H9 and H10. A GeXP analyser-based multiplex reverse transcription (RT)-PCR (GeXP-multiplex RT-PCR) assay was developed in our recent studies to simultaneously detect these eight AIV subtypes using the haemagglutinin (HA) gene. The assay consists of chimeric primer-based PCR amplification with fluorescent labelling and capillary electrophoresis separation. RNA was extracted from chick embryo allantoic fluid or liquid cultures of viral isolates. In addition, RNA synthesised via in vitro transcription was used to determine the specificity and sensitivity of the assay. After selecting the primer pairs, their concentrations and GeXP-multiplex RT-PCR conditions were optimised. The established GeXP-multiplex RT-PCR assay can detect as few as 100 copies of premixed RNA templates. In the present study, 120 clinical specimens collected from domestic poultry at live bird markets and from wild birds were used to evaluate the performance of the assay. The GeXP-multiplex RT-PCR assay specificity was the same as that of conventional RT-PCR. Thus, the GeXP-multiplex RT-PCR assay is a rapid and relatively high-throughput method for detecting and identifying eight AIV subtypes that may infect humans.
