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

Children with sickle cell disease (SCD) suffer life-threatening transient aplastic crisis (TAC) when infected with parvovirus B19. In utero, infection of healthy fetuses may result in anemia, hydrops, and death. Unfortunately, although promising vaccine candidates exist, no product has yet been licensed. One barrier to vaccine development has been the lack of a cost-effective, standardized parvovirus B19 neutralization assay. To fill this void, we evaluated the unique region of VP1 (VP1u), which contains prominent targets of neutralizing antibodies. We discovered an antigenic cross-reactivity between VP1 and VP2 that, at first, thwarted the development of a surrogate neutralization assay. We overcame the cross-reactivity by designing a mutated VP1u (VP1uAT) fragment. A new VP1uAT ELISA yielded results well correlated with neutralization (Spearman's correlation coefficient = 0.581;
