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

backgroundThe purpose of this study was to examine the usefulness of the conserved block 9 (CB9) to interspecies conserved block (ICB10) region of Plasmodium vivax merozoite surface protein-1 (MSP-1 (ICB910)) as a serodiagnostic tool for understanding malaria transmission.

methodsAntibody titre in the blood samples collected from the inhabitants of Gimpo city, Paju city and Yeoncheon county of Gyeonggi Province, as well as Cheorwon county of Gangwon Province, South Korea were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Microscopic examination was performed to identify malarial parasites.

resultsMSP-1(ICB910) is encoded by a 1,212-bp sequence, which produced a recombinant protein with a molecular weight of approximately 46 kDa. Antibody titres in 1,774 blood samples were determined with the help of ELISA using purified recombinant MSP-1(ICB910). The overall ELISA-positive rate was 8.08% (n = 146). The annual parasite incidences (APIs) in the regions where the blood sampling was carried out gradually decreased from 2004 to 2005 (1.09 and 0.80, respectively). Yeoncheon county had the highest ELISA-positive rate (10.20%, 46/451). Yeoncheon county also had the highest API both in 2004 and 2005, followed by Cheorwon county, Paju city and Gimpo city.

conclusionsThe MSP-1 (ICB910)-ELISA-positive rates were closely related to API in the geographic areas studied. These results suggest that sero-epidemiological studies employing MSP-1 (ICB910)-ELISA may be helpful in estimating the prevalence of malaria in certain geographic areas. MSP-1(ICB910)-ELISA can be effectively used to establish and evaluate malaria control and eradication programmes in the affected areas.
