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

Introduction: Shiga toxin-producing Methods: Two hundred and one frozen beef samples were purchased from various supermarkets located in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia and subsequently enriched in tryptic soy broth (TSB). From the enriched samples in TSB, 1 mL portion was mixed with immunomagnetic beads (IMB) coated with specific antibodies targeting the Results: Of the 201 examined samples, 88 (43.8%) and 106 (52.7%) were positive for Conclusions: The present study gives a clear perspective on STEC contamination in imported frozen beef marketed in Saudi Arabia. Because of the many possibilities of STEC contamination in imported frozen beef, further studies on the spread of STEC at various levels of imported frozen meat are needed on a long-term basis.
