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

Schistosomiasis continues to be a public health problem in many tropical and subtropical countries. Improving the diagnostic tools for surveillance and monitoring in areas that have reached elimination level will help hasten the possible elimination of this disease. This study therefore aims to develop enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay through the use of recombinant proteins such as thioredoxin peroxidase-1 (SjTPx-1) and four tandem repeat proteins (Sj1TR, Sj2TR, Sj4TR, and Sj7TR). Cutoff values were calculated using 38 serum samples from healthy Japanese volunteers. Sera from 35 schistosomiasis-confirmed patients, four cured from the disease by chemotherapy, and 15 endemic negative controls were used to assess these antigens. SjTPx-1 and Sj7TR both had 85.71% sensitivity. Furthermore, these antigens were also tested against human sera positive for other parasitic infections and showed no or very minimal cross-reaction. These results suggest the potential defined antigens for development of an accurate diagnostic test for schistosomiasis.
