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

backgroundThe carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is a global health problem associated with nosocomial and opportunistic infection and gastrointestinal colonization. A rapid detection method for carbapenemase genes is necessary for effective treatment and to prevent dissemination of carbapenemase genes.

methodsIn this study, a hexaplex recombinase polymerase amplification assay was established for detection of five common carbapenemase genes (bla

resultsThe duplex to hexaplex primer concentrations were successfully optimized. Single-tube RPA reaction could be completed at 37°C in 25-30 min. The limit of detection of each target varied from 0.1 to 10 ng. No cross-reactivity of hexaplex primers was observed against five Gram-positive and four Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria in pediatric infections. The sensitivity and specificity were 100% with perfect concordance with both reference methods.

conclusionTherefore, the hexaplex RPA has potential for rapid carbapenemase genes detection in limited resource settings.
