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.
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
purposeTo evaluate the performance of core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST) for genotyping Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tuberculosis) Strains in regions where the lineage 2 strains predominate.
methodsWe compared clustering by whole-genome SNP typing with cgMLST clustering in the analysis of WGS data of 6240 strains from five regions of China. Using both the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and epidemiological investigation to determine the optimal threshold for defining genomic clustering by cgMLST. The performance of cgMLST was evaluated by quantifying the sensitivity, specificity and concordance of clustering between two methods. Logistic regression was used to gauge the impact of strain genetic diversity and lineage on cgMLST clustering.
resultsThe optimal threshold for cgMLST to define genomic clustering was determined to be ≤ 10 allelic differences between strains. The overall sensitivity and specificity of cgMLST averaged 99.6% and 96.3%, respectively; the concordance of clustering between two methods averaged 97.1%. Concordance was significantly correlated with strain genetic diversity and was 3.99 times (95% CI, 2.94-5.42) higher in regions with high genetic diversity (π > 1.55 × 10
