Bayesian analysis of two methods MALDI-TOF-MS system and culture test in otomycosis infection.
Article in World journal of otorhinolaryngology - head and neck surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveIdentification of otomycotic fungi using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) time of flight (TOF) mass spectroscopy (MS) and to quantify pervasive errors with Bayes rule; values of sensitivity and specificity of culture test and MALDI-TOF-MS method are quantified.
methodFungi cultured ear discharge samples were identified with culture test and MALDI-TOF-MS system. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) or MEC (minimum effective concentration) for 6 antifungals were determined by antifungal susceptibility testing
resultsCultures yielded 42 fungal isolates which were confirmed as species (specified against each species) belonging to 8 genera,
conclusionBased on sensitivity and specificity together the culture test could be done in face of the gold-standard MALDI-TOF-MS system the estimating both methods.
