Rapid Tests for Influenza.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
A variety of antigen-capture assays are commercially available for the detection of influenza. In addition, real-time multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used to detect influenza A and B in clinical specimens. The commercial assays can be completed in less than 30 minutes and have a sensitivity of at least 70% and a specificity of 90%, compared with viral isolation. They are useful not only in the diagnosis and treatment of individual patients with influenza-like illness but also in surveillance for influenza, decreasing the time of nosocomial outbreaks, decreasing the use of laboratory tests, and decreasing antibiotic use in patients with influenza. Some of the rapid antigen assays, and PCR, can detect the H5N1 and H9N1 viruses. Real-time multiplex PCR also detects a variety of respiratory viruses within 6 hours, with only 1 hour of hands-on technician time. The widespread use of the rapid tests for influenza is changing the practice pattern of physicians who care for patients with influenza.
