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

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is caused by SFTS virus (SFTSV). We investigated the detailed kinetics of serologic response in patients with SFTS. Twenty-eight patients aged ≥18 years were enrolled between July 2015 and October 2018. SFTS was confirmed by detecting SFTSV RNA in their plasma using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. SFTSV-specific IgG and IgM were measured using immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We found that SFTSV-specific IgG was detected at days 5-9 after symptom onset, and its titer was rising during the course of disease. SFTSV-specific IgM titer peaked at around week 2-3 from symptom onset. The SFTSV-specific seropositive rates for days 5-9, 10-14, 15-19, and 20-24 from symptom onset using IFA and ELISA were 63%, 76%, 90%, and 100%, and 58%, 86%, 100%, and 100%, respectively, for IgG, whereas they were 32%, 62%, 80%, and 100%, and 53%, 62%, 70%, and 100%, respectively, for IgM. The delayed IgM response could be attributed to the low sensitivity of SFTSV-specific IgM IFA or ELISA and/or impaired immune responses. The IgM test using IFA or ELISA that we used in this study is, therefore, insufficient for the early diagnosis of SFTS.
