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

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) that causes a fatal neurodegenerative disease in cervids. Cases of CWD are rapidly increasing in North America among wild and farmed cervid populations, and potential for zoonotic transmission is not yet determined. Therefore, in order to manage the disease, it is imperative to devise a system that can detect CWD during its early phases to prevent spread to new captive herds through introduction of CWD-affected animals into otherwise CWD-free herds. Real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) assays have been applied to detect the presence of disease-associated prions from various samples in both animals and humans. In this study, we have tested the use of five Hofmeister anions that range from weakly hydrating to strongly hydrating: Na
