Evaluation of the COBAS AMPLICOR MTB system.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 1997. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
A panel of 1,012 respiratory sediments was retrospectively tested by PCR amplification to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis with the COBAS AMPLICOR MTB system. The sensitivities and specificities of COBAS and fluorescence microscopy compared to culture were 92.6 versus 95.6% and 99.6 versus 95.3%, respectively. Inhibition occurred in 48 (4.7%) specimens.
