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

With the multiplicity of existing methods to track E. coli infections, it still seems necessary to seek new, better and/or complementary ways for epidemiological investigations. Particularly, fast, cheap, effective and reproducible methods providing easily comparable results are needed. Our previous studies showed that the use of TRS-PCR is an effective molecular tool in E. coli epidemiology. In this paper, we have developed a unique classification scheme in which an individual TRS-PCR pattern is assigned a numerical value. This approach allows for rapid interpretation of the results obtained from several similarity dendrograms. Using this approach, based on CAC-PCR, GTG-PCR and CGG-PCR, we obtained 52, 86 and 99 different numerical types for the 124 analyzed uropathogenic E. coli strains, respectively. This allowed for the identification of 121 unique isolates differing in at least one TRS-PCR class. In this approach, we got numerical results, easy to sort and interpret, allowing easier analysis of these strains.
