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 Chlamydia pneumoniae genome-encoded open reading frames Cpn0146, Cpn0147, and Cpn0308 were expressed as recombinant proteins for detecting C. pneumoniae-specific antibodies in samples from three groups of individuals including 183 with C. pneumoniae-associated respiratory infection (group I), 60 healthy blood donors (group II), and 32 with no known respiratory infection (group III). The recombinant Cpn0146 was recognized by 71 (38.8% positive recognition rate), 15 (25%) and 1 (3.1%), Cpn0147 by 75 (40.9%), 14 (23.3%), and 2 (6.3%), and Cpn0308 by 82 (44.8%), 16 (26.7%), and 0 (0%) samples from groups I, II, and III, respectively. The positive recognition rates with any of the three antigens were significantly higher in group I than those in groups II and III, suggesting that more individuals from group I were likely infected with C. pneumoniae. This conclusion was confirmed with a commercially available whole organism-based ELISA kit (Savyon Diagnostics Ltd., Ashdod, Israel), which detected C. pneumoniae antibodies in 98 (64.1%), 26 (43.3%), and 4 (12.5%) samples from group I, II, and III, respectively. Comparing to the commercial kit, the recombinant antigen-based detection assays displayed >97% of detection specificity and >87% of sensitivity, suggesting that these recombinant antigens can be considered alternative tools for aiding in serodiagnosis of C. pneumoniae infection.
