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, 22 bacterial isolates from swine necropsy specimens, which were biochemically identified as Streptococcus suis and other Streptococcus species, were re-examined using species-specific PCR for authentic S. suis and 16S rRNA gene sequencing for the verification of the former judge. Identification of S. suis on the basis of biochemical characteristics showed high false-positive (70.6%) and false-negative (60%) rates. The authentic S. suis showed various capsular polysaccharide synthesis gene types, including type 2 that often isolated from human cases. Five of 22 isolates did not even belong to the genus Streptococcus. These results suggested that the misidentification of the causative pathogen in routine veterinary diagnosis could be a substantial obstacle for the control of emerging infectious diseases.
