Study of Hepatitis C Virus Detection Assays.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundHepatitis C virus is a small, enveloped, positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus that causes and liver cancer like hepatocellular carcinoma and lymphomas. PATIENTS AND
methodsA retrospective study of 426 patients was admitted to Al-Kindy Teaching Hospital, Baghdad-Iraq for surgical operations or renal dialysis from January-2015 to December-2016. Their serum tested for HCV Abs by rapid immunochromatography, Enzyme Linked ImunoSorbent Assay (ELISA), and RIBA test.
resultsThe study sample was 426 patients, their age was ranged from 15 to 65 years. Males were represented 58% and the rest were females. The serum of all samples has tested by rapid Immunochromatography test. Fifty percent of them showed positive results by this test and the rest were negative. Those fifty serum samples who were positive by Immunochromatography test were reexamined by ELISA test and showed 39out of 50 (78%) were true positive by ELISA test and the rest were negative (P = 0.0001).The positive samples by ELISA have tested by RIBA test that showed 200(80%)were true positive in males and 130(74%)were true positive in females and the rest were false positive (P = 0.0001).
conclusionsEarly screening of the high risk group of population by highly sensitive test is important to treat infected patients and prevent dissemination among population.
