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.

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.

Abstract

background

resultsIn preliminary studies using a defined number of plasmids with clarithromycin and levofloxacin resistance mutations, the analytical sensitivity of our ARMS-PCR assay was 50 plasmid copies, equating to around 50 bacterium in a gastric biopsy sample. In terms of specificity, the assay was highly specific for the targeted resistance mutations. The assay was also able to reliably and efficiently detect heteroresistance of clarithromycin and levofloxacin mutations, even at a disproportional ratio of 1:1000. From the analysis of 192 samples with suspected

conclusionsOur assay demonstrated high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for detection of clarithromycin and levofloxacin resistant
