Immunochromatographic test with recombinant Em18 antigen for the follow-up study of alveolar echinococcosis.
Article in Clinical and vaccine immunology : CVI, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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 performance of a rapid and simple immunochromatographic test (ICT) with recombinant Em18 (rEm18) antigen for serological follow-up of Echinococcus multilocularis infection was evaluated by comparison with that of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with rEm18, using serum samples from patients who underwent surgery and/or received antiparasitic chemotherapy. The degree of Em18-band intensity on the ICT correlated highly with the absorbance value obtained by the ELISA. The kinetics of antibody levels obtained by the ICT paralleled those of the ELISA. These data suggest that the ICT has high potential as an easy-to-handle, fast, and reliable follow-up tool to monitor the status of alveolar echinococcosis in different stages.
