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.
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
backgroundSalmonella enterica serovar Gallinarum biovars Pullorum and Gallinarum lead to pullorum disease and fowl typhoid in avian species and have been of substantial economic significance to the poultry industry. Serotyping and biochemical assays are complicated for use in the differentiation of these two biovars owing to their antigenic similarity. The aims of this study were to establish a new multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method to detect and differentiate the two Salmonella biovars, Gallinarum and Pullorum.
resultsThe novel multiplex PCR was established on the basis of three genes, SG1445, I137_14465, and stn. In silico analysis indicated the SG1445 gene exists in all Salmonella serovar, apart from S. Pullorum, which allowed the use of this gene for S. Pullorum identification. The I137_14465 gene is absent in S. Gallinarum and present in all other Salmonella serovars, allowing this gene to be utilized for S. Gallinarum detection. stn was employed as a control gene for the Salmonella genus. The multiplex PCR could identify and distinguish the two pathogens accurately from 74 strains of Salmonella, including 29 different serovars and without false positive reactions from 44 non-Salmonella bacteria. The specificity was verified with a broad collection of Salmonella isolates. The detection limit of the multiplex PCR was as low as 22.5 pg/μL genomic DNA of the two pathogens and 100 CFU of bacterial cells. Detection of clinical isolates from a chicken farm was carried out using this method with good agreement with detection based on traditional Salmonella serotyping and biochemical identification.
conclusionsThe findings of this study showed that the developed multiplex PCR technique could sensitively detect and specifically differentiate the two biotypes of S. Gallinarum in laboratory and clinical samples.
