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

Correctly designed flow cytometry (virometry) assays allow accurate detection and enumeration of viruses in water. However, rigorous controls and calibrators are needed to obtain quality data. In the absence of proper controls, the use of fluorescent dyes for virus enumeration can produce false positive signals and lead to the wrong estimation of total virus counts by misreporting colloid particles as virions. Here we describe a protocol that addresses the problems that might potentially confound virometry data accuracy.
