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

background

methodsThe methodology was used to evaluate the occurrences of

resultsThe PCR assay showed a sensitivity of 70% and specificity around 75%. Our LAMP assay showed a suitable sensitivity 78.7% and specificity 87.5%, with, however, positive (98.4%) and negative (29.1%) predictive values.

conclusionThe LAMP assay is a simple and convenient diagnostic tool for tropical theileriosis. Moreover, LAMP does not require experienced staff and specialized equipment for sampling procedures and it is practical outside laboratories and can be used for field diagnosis.
