Evaluation of a commercial rRNA target amplification assay for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in respiratory specimens.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 1994. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Seventy-one respiratory samples were analyzed in a new commercially available target rRNA amplification assay aimed at detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex directly in patient specimens. The assay (Gen-Probe Amplified Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Direct Test) correctly identified 26 of 27 samples positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and 43 of 44 samples negative for Mycobacterium tuberculosis in culture. When appropriate controls are performed, the assay also performs well with other specimens, such as tissue biopsies, lymph node or bone marrow aspirates and pleural and ascitic exudates.
