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

The Staphylococcus aureus aroA gene, which encodes 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase, was used as a target for the amplification of a 1,153-bp DNA fragment by PCR with a pair of primers of 24 and 19 nucleotides. The PCR products, which were detected by agarose gel electrophoresis, were amplified from all S. aureus strains so far analyzed (reference strains and isolates from cows and sheep with mastitis, as well as 59 isolates from humans involved in four confirmed outbreaks). Hybridization with an internal 536-bp DNA fragment probe was positive for all PCR-positive samples. No PCR products were amplified when other Staphylococcus spp. or genera were analyzed by using the same pair of primers. The detection limit for S. aureus cells was 20 CFU when the cells were suspended in saline; however, the sensitivity of the PCR was lower (5 x 10(2) CFU) when S. aureus cells were suspended in sterilized whole milk. TaqI digestion of the PCR-generated products rendered two different restriction fragment length polymorphism patterns with the cow and sheep strains tested, and these patterns corresponded to the two different patterns obtained by antibiotic susceptibility tests. Analysis of the 59 human isolates by our easy and rapid protocol rendered results similar to those of other assays.
