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

Several DNA-based and serological tests have been established for the detection of Theileria annulata infection, including polymerase chain reaction, reverse line blot and loop-mediated isothermal amplification, indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and competitive ELISA. In this study, we have applied knowledge from the development and application of a recombinant protein-based indirect ELISA and competitive ELISA to establish a rapid test for point-of-care diagnosis of T. annulata infection in the field to be used by the veterinarian. For the development of a lateral flow test, the recombinantly expressed T. annulata surface protein (TaSP) was applied as the test antigen and anti-TaSP antiserum as the control line. TaSP antigen conjugated to colloidal gold particles was used as the detection system for visualization at the test line for the binding of anti-TaSP antibody present in the serum of infected animals. The developed test specifically detected antibodies in the serum of animals experimentally infected with T. annulata and showed no cross-reactivity with serum from animals infected with other tested bovine pathogens (Trypanosoma brucei, Anaplasma marginale, Babesia bigemina, Babesia bovis, and Theileria parva). Testing of field samples was compared to results obtained by other serological tests, resulting in a sensitivity and specificity of 96.3% and 87.5% compared to indirect fluorescence antibody test, 98.7% and 81.8% compared to indirect ELISA, and 100% and 47.6% compared to competitive ELISA. In conclusion, a rapid test for the detection of T. annulata infection (T. annulata lateral flow device, Ta-LFD) has been developed, which is easy to perform, delivers results to be read by the naked eye within 10 min, and is suitable for the detection of infection in field samples.
