Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus sequences as molecular targets for typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
The presence of enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC) sequences was demonstrated for the first time in the genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis; these sequences have been found in transcribed regions of the chromosomes of gram-negative bacteria. In this study genetic diversity among clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis was determined by PCR with ERIC primers (ERIC-PCR). The study isolates comprised 71 clinical isolates collected from Sardinia, Italy. ERIC-PCR was able to identify 59 distinct profiles. The results obtained were compared with IS6110 and PCR-GTG fingerprinting. We found that the level of differentiation obtained by ERIC-PCR is greater than that obtained by IS6110 fingerprinting and comparable to that obtained by PCR-GTG. This method of fingerprinting is rapid and sensitive and can be applied to the study of the epidemiology of M. tuberculosis infections, especially when IS6110 fingerprinting is not of any help.
