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

Tyramine, a trace monoamine produced from tyrosine by decarboxylation and found naturally in foods, plants, and animals, is a suspected virulence factor of Melissococcus plutonius that causes European foulbrood in honey bee brood. In the present study, we developed a method for quantitative analysis of tyramine in culture medium and honey bee larvae with a limit of quantitation of 3 ng/mL and a recovery rate of >97% using Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry and deuterium-labeled tyramine, demonstrating for the first time that a highly virulent M. plutonius strain actually produces tyramine in infected larvae. This method will be an indispensable tool to elucidate the role of tyramine in European foulbrood pathogenesis in combination with exposure bioassays using artificially reared bee larvae.
