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

We developed a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to detect circulating parasite antigen in humans with fascioliasis. The assay uses antibodies against Fasciola hepatica excretory secretory (ES) antigens. A monoclonal antibody was used to capture circulating ES antigens, and a human polyclonal antibody peroxidase conjugate was used to identify circulating ES antigens. Optimal dilutions of all reagents were determined by block titration. The antigen concentration in sera from patients was estimated by comparing the optical density at 492 nm of test sera with a standard curve. All of the serum samples from 25 patients with parasitological evidence of fascioliasis had a detectable antigen concentration (more than 10 ng/ml). None of the serum samples from 80 patients infected with parasites other than F. hepatica showed a positive reaction, suggesting the absence of cross-reactions in this assay.
