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

In this study, loop-mediated isothermal amplification(LAMP) assay in conjunction with calcein for visualized detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis(MTB) was established. Firstly, four LAMP primers were designed according to the region of 16 S r DNA sequences of MTB. Secondly, clinical sputum samples were collected,decontaminated and their DNA was extracted. Thirdly, standard MTB strains were used to evaluate the specificity and sensitivity of LAMP. At the same time, electrophoresis was used for products detection and calcein was used for visualized verification. At last, Chi-squared test function in SPSS 17.0 software was used for consistency evaluation of LAMP assay as compared with the gold standard(culture method). Results showed that there was no nonspecific amplification appeared in the specificity assay and the detection limit was 10 copies/tube in the sensitivity assay. In addition, visualized method by calcein had a comparable sensitivity with that of electrophoresis method. After evaluation of clinical practicability, the sensitivity of LAMP was calculated as 94.74% and the specificity was 90%, respectively. And Chi-squared test showed that LAMP and culture method had no statistic difference, and the two methods were in good consistency(P>0.05). In conclusion, LAMP assay introduced in our study has the characteristics of high efficiency and visualized detection so that this technique has great application prospects in the resource-limited environment, such as work field and primary care hospitals.
