Enhanced diagnostic accuracy of combined serological and bacteriological tests for brucella infection.

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
objectiveTo analyze the effects and value of combining serological and bacteriological tests in diagnosing Brucella infection.
methodsIn this retrospective study, patients suspected of having Brucella infection admitted to Lishui Second People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2022 were assessed using serological, bacteriological, and combined (serological + bacteriological) tests. The diagnostic performance of each test was compared using previous clinical results as the gold standard. We also compared the acceptance rate and satisfaction with clinical diagnostic results for the different testing modalities.
resultsThe combined examination (serological + bacteriological test) showed higher diagnostic efficiency for Brucella infection compared to single serological and single bacteriological tests (P < 0.05). Similarly, the satisfaction rate for the clinical diagnostic effects of the combined examination was higher than for the serological and bacteriological tests alone (P < 0.05).
conclusionThe combination of serological and bacteriological tests provides superior diagnostic value for Brucella infection, with high diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. It is recommended as the preferred method for clinical diagnosis.
