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

Streptococcus suis is a zoonotic pathogen contributing to human and pig infections. Effective techniques to distinguish pathogenic from non-pathogenic pathotypes of S. suis is required for public health surveillance. Herein, we developed and evaluated a PCR approach detecting the human-associated clade (HAC)-G19 marker gene to identify the pathogenic pathotype of S. suis. The study was conducted on 599 human strains, 82 diseased-pig strains, and 299 clinically healthy pig strains. PCR analysis revealed that 98.8% and 75.6% were HAC-G19 positive in human and diseased-pig strains, whereas 67.6% of healthy pig strains were negative for the HAC-G19 gene. Statistical analysis revealed that the HAC-G19 gene was more significantly present in diseased-associated isolates than in healthy pig isolates (p-value < 0.001), being with OR of 50.4 (95% CI = 32.1-79.5). Diagnostic accuracy was 87.4% (95% CI = 85.1-89.49%) with sensitivity and specificity were 96.1% (95% CI = 94.3-97.4%) and 67.6% (95% CI = 61.9-72.8%), respectively. This demonstrated that PCR of HAC-G19 has a potential to predict pathogenic pathotype for S. suis.
