Performance of Molecular Culture ID in diagnosis of bacterial pericarditis.

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
Bacterial pericarditis is a serious condition for which diagnosis relies on culture of the pericardial fluid. Culture often remains negative in cases of fastidious organisms or prior antibiotic treatment. To alleviate this issue, we developed Molecular Culture ID (MC-ID), a PCR-based pan-bacterial assay, approved according to the European In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR), that identifies bacteria to the species level. Here, we evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of this test on a uniquely large sample set of 42 pericardial effusions. MC-ID identified 11 positive samples whereas culture detected only 7, demonstrating the ability of MC-ID to diagnose bacterial pericarditis.
