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: The African swine fever (ASF) is a viral disease of significant socio-economic and animal health impact, commonly diagnosed using molecular techniques. The World Organization of Animal Health (WOAH) has recommended two highly sensitive and specific real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) procedures (P1 qPCR and P2 qPCR) for the reliable and rapid detection of the ASF virus (ASFV). The present work aimed to standardize two third-generation PCR technologies by using the same WOAH-recommended primer/probe sets. Methods: We developed two droplet digital PCR protocols ddPCRs and compared their analytical performances to the above-mentioned qPCRs. This involved testing serially diluted plasmid containing the vp72 gene sequence of the ASFV as the template. Clinical positive and negative samples were also analyzed to compare both PCR procedures. Results and discussion: The ddPCR assays demonstrated excellent linearity (
