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

backgroundWe describe a photochemical signal amplification method (PSAM) for increasing the sensitivity of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for the detection of HIV-1 p24 antigen, and present a preliminary validation study on ELISA+PSAM technology for detection of HIV-1 p24 antigen in clinical samples.

methodsELISA+PSAM is compatible with commercially available microtiter plate readers, employs an inexpensive illumination device and the amplification takes around 10 min.

resultsThe PSAM technology not only increases the analytical sensitivity for detection of HIV-1 p24 antigen by approximately 40 times, but also significantly increases the clinical sensitivity of the ELISA: in instances where viral RNA load is <3000 copies/ml, conventional heat mediated immune complex disruption ELISA (HM-ELISA) cannot detect any HIV positive samples whereas HM-ELISA+PSAM can detect HIV infection in approximately half of the samples (clinical sensitivity is 52.63%). For viral RNA loads between 3000 and 30,000 copies/ml, the clinical sensitivities of the HM-ELISA and HM-ELISA+PSAM are 32.6% and 91.3%, and for that >30,000 copies/ml, clinical sensitivities of HM-ELISA and HM-ELISA+PSAM are 52.3% and 100%, respectively.

conclusionsThe HM-ELISA+PSAM represents an advancement in monitoring HIV-1 disease progression and treatment in the global healthcare setting.
