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

Biotyping using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-ToF) mass spectroscopy (MS) has revolutionized microbiology by allowing clinicians and scientists to rapidly identify microbes at genus and species levels. The present study extensively assesses the suitability and reliability of MALDI-ToF biotyping of 14 different aerobic and anaerobic bacterial species as pure and mixed cultures. Reliable identification at species level was possible from biomaterial of older colonies and even frozen biomaterial, although this was species dependent. Using standard instrument settings and direct application of biomaterial onto the MALDI-ToF target plates, it was determined that the cell densities necessary for completely reliable identification of pure cultures varied between 2.40 × 10
