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

backgroundBlaAFM-1 (GenBank Accession No. 143105.1) is a new B1 subclass metallo-β-lactamase gene discovered by our group, and isolated from an Alcaligenes faecalis plasmid that renders carbapenem antibiotics ineffective. In this study, we generated a fast and reliable assay for blaAFM-1 detection.

methodsWe designed optimum loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) primers and constructed a recombinant plasmid AFM-1 to specifically detect blaAFM-1. Optimal LAMP primers were used to assess sensitivity of the recombinant plasmid AFM-1 and blaAFM-1-supplemented samples (simulated sputum and simulated feces). Fifty two samples, without blaAFM-1, were used to assess LAMP real-time assay specificity; these samples were verified by conventional PCR and sequencing for the absence of blaAFM-1. Three hundred clinical Gram-negative carbapenem-resistant strains were tested by LAMP assay for strains carrying blaAFM-1, which were confirmed by conventional PCR and Sanger sequencing. We calculated the sensitivity and its 95% confidence interval (95% CI), specificity and its 95% CI, and predictive values of the LAMP assay and conventional PCR/sequencing by investigating positive and negative clinical strains.

resultsThe lowest limit of detection for the recombinant plasmid AFM-1 and blaAFM-1-supplemented samples (in both simulated sputum and simulated feces) was 10

conclusionsWe established a new LAMP assay with high sensitivity and specificity to detect the novel B1-β-lactamase gene, blaAFM-1.
