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

Noroviruses (NoV) cause the majority of non-bacterial gastroenteritis cases worldwide, with genotype II.4 being the most common. The aim of our study was to quantitate norovirus-specific IgG in immunocompromised patients before and after laboratory-confirmed norovirus infection. A quantitative ELISA was developed by coating ELISA plates with recombinantly expressed P domain of GII.1 capsid protein. After testing mouse sera drawn before and after immunization with GII.1- and GII.4 P domain, sera from GII.1- and GII.4 infected patients were tested. The assay reliably detected preexisting NoV-specific IgG antibodies. Sera drawn after infection showed increased antibody concentrations. Antibodies elicited by GII.1- and GII.4 infections could be detected with coated GII.1 capsid protein. IgG levels remained constant during the first week and then increased in the second week after laboratory diagnosis. The results show that immunocompromised patients elicited IgG responses to NoV infections that could be reliably detected with our quantitative ELISA.
