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 fast, rabies virus-free, in vitro method, based on a blocking ELISA (bELISA), to detect and accurately quantify anti-rabies glycoprotein antibodies in serum of several animal species. In this method, purified rabies virus-like particles (VLPs) are used as antigen to coat the plates, while the presence of specific rabies immunoglobulins is revealed through blocking the recognition of these VLPs by a biotinylated monoclonal antibody. A quality by design approach was carried out in order to optimize the method performance, improving the sensitivity and, thereby, reducing the limit of detection of this assay. After the method validation, we confirmed that the bELISA method is able to detect a concentration of 0.06 IU/mL rabies immunoglobulins, titer lower than the 0.5 IU/mL cutoff value established as indication for correct vaccination. Further, we assessed the correlation between bELISA, the MNT, and the Platelia methods, confirming the accuracy of this new assay. On the other hand, precision was evaluated, obtaining acceptable repeatability and intermediate precision values, showing that this bELISA could be proposed as a potential alternative method, replacing the gold standard techniques in vaccination schemes and becoming a routine control technique within regional rabies surveillance programs.
