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

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) provides greater resolution than other molecular epidemiology strategies and is emerging as a new gold standard approach for microbial strain typing. The Bruker IR Biotyper is designed as a screening tool to identify bacterial isolates that require WGS to establish accurate relationships, but its performance and utility in nosocomial outbreak investigations have not been thoroughly investigated. Here, we evaluated the IR Biotyper by retrospectively examining isolates tested by WGS during investigations of potential nosocomial transmission events or outbreaks. Ninety-eight clinical isolates from 14 different outbreak investigations were examined: three collections of
