Detection of vertical transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 by a commercial polymerase chain reaction assay.

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
In a prospective study, a commercial polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system was compared with a conventional procedure, based on PCR and hybridization with a radio-labeled probe, for the detection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in 131 blood samples from 80 children born to HIV-seropositive mothers. Twenty-three of these children were HIV infected. The sensitivity and specificity of the commercial assay as compared with the conventional PCR procedure were 100% and 95.1%, respectively. This commercial method simplifies the performance of the conventional PCR technique and can be used to detect HIV type 1 vertical transmission.
