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

backgroundIn recent years, the incidence of bloodstream infections (BSI) has increased, the composition of pathogenic bacteria has changed, and drug resistance among bacteria has gradually increased due to the widespread use of interventional techniques, broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs, hormones, and immunosuppressive agents. Here, we have developed a multiplex PCR assay kit for the detection of pathogens (14 Gram-negative bacteria, 15 Gram-positive bacteria, and 4 fungi) in whole blood from patients with BSI using five-color fluorescent multiplex PCR followed by capillary electrophoresis. Our assay exhibits a diagnosis of higher quality and an improved detection rate for common pathogens.

methodsA local genome DNA database of 33 pathogenic bacteria was constructed. Next, "Exhaustive" primer search of the full coding sequence of the reference genomes of these bacteria was performed. Panels with minimal interactions between primers and amplicons were selected by random sampling and testing by a recursive algorithm. Primers and Mg

resultsThe LOD of the kit was determined as 100 copies/μl. Using clinical samples, results generated by this kit and regular blood culture method were found to be 95.08% consistent. Additionally, six pathogens which were unidentifiable by blood culture were successfully detected by this kit.

conclusionOur study provided a bioinformatics approach to the challenge of primer design in multiplex PCR, and combined with optimized wet lab practice, a multiplex PCR-based assay kit for BSI with higher sensitivity and accuracy than blood culture was produced.
