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

Fast identification of pathogenic bacteria is an essential need for patient's diagnostic in hospitals and environmental monitoring of water and air quality. Bacterial cells consist of a very high amount of biological molecules whose content changes in response to different environmental conditions. The similarity between the molecular compositions of different bacterial cells limits the possibility to find unique markers to enable differentiation among species. Although many biological molecules in the cells absorb at the UV-Vis region, only a few of them can be detected in whole cells by their intrinsic fluorescence. Among these molecules are the amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan. In this work, we develop a rapid method for bacterial identification by synchronous fluorescence. We show that we can quantify the concentration for the 3 amino acids without any significant interference from other fluorophores in the cells and that we can differentiate among 6 pathogenic bacterial species by using the concentrations of their amino acids as a bacterial fingerprint. Fluorescent amino acids exist in all living cells. Therefore, this method has the potential to be applicative for the rapid identification of cells from all kinds of organisms.
