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

The objective of this study was to compare Reverse Hybridisation Assay with conventional sequencing for determination of Hepatitis C Virus Genotype and Subtypes. Anti-HCV antibody was determined followed by HCV RNA extraction which was used for (1) viral load determination (2) qualitative real-time PCR RHA for genotyping and (3) conventional sequencing. Compared to conventional sequencing, accuracy of RHA results was 96.55% for determination of genotype (κ = 0.93) and 89.66% for subtype (κ = 0.85). Sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value (NPV) and positive predictive value (PPV) of the qualitative PCR were 82.29%, 100%, 44.44% and 100% respectively with an accuracy of 86.84%. RHA is a less time consuming and cheaper method for determination of HCV genotype and subtype yet results must be interpreted with caution and quality control monitoring should be strictly followed to ensure validity.
