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

A rapid and easy method that takes advantage of an inexpensive and portable fibre-based spectroscopic system (optrode) to determine the ratio of live to dead bacteria is proposed. Mixtures of live and dead Escherichia coli with proportions of live:dead cells varying from 0 to 100% were stained using SYTO 9 and propidium iodide (PI) and measured using the optrode. We demonstrated several approaches to obtaining the proportions of live:dead E. coli in a mixture of both live and dead, from analyses of the fluorescence spectra collected by the optrode. To find a suitable technique for predicting the percentage of live bacteria in a sample, four analysis methods were assessed and compared: SYTO 9:PI fluorescence intensity ratio, an adjusted fluorescence intensity ratio, single-spectrum support vector regression (SVR) and multi-spectra SVR. Of the four analysis methods, multi-spectra SVR obtained the most reliable results and was able to predict the percentage of live bacteria in 10
