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

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a group of human foodborne pathogens transmitted to humans through the consumption of different types of food. Their detection is mainly performed by targeting specific serogroups by classical microbiological methods and, later, by molecular typing with different techniques. The application of multiplex real-time PCR (qPCR) can significantly improve the turnaround time of the existing methodologies as in one single run it is possible to detect and characterize specific microorganisms. In the present chapter, a pentaplex qPCR assay is described for the identification of STEC which may also be applied for the rapid screening of these pathogens in different types of foods. The assay targets the most important virulence factors of these microorganisms, the genes stx1, stx2, and eae, along with the rfbE gene which encodes for the "O157" antigen as this is the most prevalent serogroup among all STEC, as well as an internal amplification control to rule out false-negative results due to qPCR inhibition.
