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

Eumycetoma is a neglected tropical disease caused primarily by a Madurella mycetomatis infection, besides other related species. In this study, we designed a novel loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) primer set capable of simultaneously detecting four Madurella species (M. mycetomatis, M. pseudomycetomatis, M. tropicana, and M. fahalii). Genomic sequencing of M. pseudomycetomatis strain and comparative genome analysis revealed the candidate genes that were common among and specific to Madurella species. The 3 LAMP primer sets targeting these genes detected up to 1 pg of the genomic DNA of all 4 Madurella species, exhibiting no cross-reactivity toward other pathogenic fungi. Among these, one primer set showing better reactivity was selected as a candidate used for diagnosis. Therefore, we developed novel primer sets which enabled the simultaneous detection of four Madurella species. Our present findings will lead to a faster and simpler diagnostic tool for eumycetoma detection, especially in rural clinical settings.
