Improved method to calculate the antibody avidity index.
Article in Journal of clinical laboratory analysis, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 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
The methods currently used to determine the immunoglobulin avidity index (AI) require the choice of a reference point in the ELISA titration curve. Since both curves, with and without denaturating reagents, seldom run in parallel, the AI value becomes highly dependent on this reference. The new method for AI calculation presented here takes into account the whole data of the ELISA titration curve in which the final numerical AI is the average of each point.
