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

Mycoplasma contamination of cell line cultures is a common, yet often undetected problem in research laboratories. Many of the existing techniques to detect mycoplasma contamination of cultured cells are time-consuming, expensive, and have significant drawbacks. Here, we describe a mycoplasma detection system that is useful for detecting multiple species of mycoplasma in infected cell lines. The system contains three dye-labeled detection aptamers that can specifically bind to mycoplasma-infected cells and a dye-labeled control aptamer that minimally binds to cells. With this system, mycoplasma-contaminated cells can be detected within 30 min by using a flow cytometer, fluorescence microscope, or microplate reader. Further, this system may be used to detect mycoplasma-contaminated culture medium. This study presents an novel mycoplasma detection model that is simple, rapid, inexpensive, and sensitive.
