Improvement of the specificity of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for diagnosis of paracoccidioidomycosis.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
In an attempt to improve the specificity of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the diagnosis of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), sera from patients with PCM were tested using various approaches, such as sodium metaperiodate antigen (gp43) treatment, a serum absorption process with Candida albicans or Histoplasma capsulatum antigens, and dilution of serum in galactose, the main common epitope among pathogenic fungi. The maximum specificity found in this ELISA was 84%. All of these procedures proved inefficient for eliminating all cross-reacting antibodies and obtaining an ELISA specific for PCM diagnosis.
