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

Medical microbiology has used phenotypical and metabolic criteria to identify bacterial pathogens for decades. However, no such criteria have been applied to identify leptospires at the species level. In the recent years, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight (MALDI-ToF) mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as new tool for the identification of bacterial species in the medical microbiology laboratory. This technology has rapidly gained more and more popularity. Actually, this technique is sensitive and economic, saving both labor and bench costs, but also rapid, significantly reducing turnaround time from isolation to identification. MALDI-ToF MS provides an unprecedented tool for the rapid identification of Leptospira at the species level.
