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/

objectivesCarbapenem-resistant

methodsPrimers and probes targeted at genes encoding carbapenemases

resultsA good linear correlation between the fluorescence values in the real-time PCR and the log

conclusionsThe assay offers a rapid, sensitive and specific method for the screening of major carbapenemase genes, providing an effective tool for surveillance and infection control in clinical settings. The DNA extraction-free protocol converts this method into a good alternative for screening in 24/7 clinical laboratories. Further multiplexing to target other resistance genes, on demand, could add potential benefits to this laboratory-developed method.
