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

Stool culture is the gold standard method to diagnose enteric bacterial infections; however, many clinical laboratories are transitioning to syndromic multiplex PCR panels. PCR is rapid, accurate, and affordable, yet does not yield subtyping information critical for foodborne disease surveillance. A metagenomics-based stool testing approach could simultaneously provide diagnostic and public health information. Here, we evaluated shotgun metagenomics to assess the detection of common enteric bacterial pathogens in stool. We sequenced 304 stool specimens from 285 patients alongside routine diagnostic testing for
