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

Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) for the analysis of 13 Moraxella catarrhalis isolates, 11 successive strains isolated from sputa of five children and 2 isolates obtained the same day from twins, were compared. RAPD and PFGE both yielded nine types from the 13 isolates, showing a chronic colonization with one strain in three patients and a successive colonization with different strains in two patients. The promising results obtained with RAPD should be confirmed with a larger number of strains, but RAPD seems as suitable as PFGE for the typing of M. catarrhalis.
