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

Background: Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (RT-PCR) can effectively distinguish between Case presentation: The clinical manifestations of the three patients were fever and respiratory symptoms. Chest CT showed "multiple lung infections". The acid-fast bacilli were negative by microscopic examination. The results of RT-PCR detection of Conclusions: In the RT-PCR detection of mycobacteria, if there's abnormal amplification, and the mycobacterial species cannot be identified, the amplified products sequencing or MALDI- TOF mass spectrometry identification will help avoid the omission of rare pathogens.
