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

Protozoan parasites in food or water samples are generally detected using microscopy or PCR followed by Sanger sequencing. However, microscopy is subjective, requires a high degree of expertise and has limited sensitivity, while DNA sequencing requires expensive and specialized equipment and facilities. This study describes a cloth-based hybridization array system (CHAS) that is an alternative to Sanger sequencing to confirm PCR-positive samples. CHAS is an inexpensive, rapid and reliable method for the simultaneous detection of multiple protozoan parasite species based on the colorimetric detection of PCR amplicons on a polyester cloth. PCR primers and CHAS hybridization probes were developed to detect the protozoan parasites
