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

Rapid and species-specific detection, and virulence evaluation of opportunistic pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, are issues that increasingly has attracted the attention of public health authorities. A set of primers and hydrolysis probe was designed based on one of the P. aeruginosa housekeeping genes, gyrB, and its specificity and sensitivity was evaluated by TaqMan qPCR methods. The end point PCR and SYBR Green qPCR were used as control methods. Furthermore, multiplex RT-qPCRs were developed for gyrB as reference and four virulence genes, including lasB, lasR, rhlR and toxA. Totally, 40 environmental samples, two clinical isolates from CF patients, two standard strains of P. aeruginosa, and 15 non-target reference strains were used to test the sensitivity and specificity of qPCR assays. In silico and in vitro cross-species testing confirmed the high specificity and low cross-species amplification of the designed gyrB418F/gyrB490R/gyrB444P. The sensitivity of both TaqMan and SYBR Green qPCRs was 100% for all target P. aeruginosa, and the detected count of bacteria was below ten genomic equivalents. The lowest M value obtained from gene-stability measurement was 0.19 that confirmed the suitability of gyrB as the reference gene for RT-qPCR. The developed qPCRs have enough detection power for identification of P. aeruginosa in environmental samples including clean and recreational water, treated and untreated sewage and soil. The short amplicon length of our designed primers and probes, alongside with a low M value, make it as a proper methodology for RT-qPCR in virulence genes expression assessment.
