High Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)-Specific Antibodies among Healthcare Workers: A Cross-Sectional Study in Guilan, Iran.
Article in Journal of environmental and public health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG antibodies among healthcare workers in Guilan. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 503 healthcare workers. Between April and May 2020, blood samples were collected from the healthcare workers of Razi Hospital in Rasht, Guilan, Iran. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used for the detection and quantitation of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM/IgG antibodies by using kits made by Pishtaz Teb Company, Tehran, Iran. Results: From a total of 503 participants, the result of the anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM antibody test was positive in 28 subjects (5.6%) and the anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody test was positive in171 subjects (34%). Participants in the age group of 35-54 years were significantly more likely to have a positive anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody test than the age group of 20-34 years (odds ratio = 1.53, 95% CI: 1.04-2.25, Conclusion: The results of the current study indicated that the seroprevalence of COVID-19 was high among healthcare workers of Guilan Province. It seems that this finding was due to the earlier exposure to COVID-19 and the lack of awareness and preparedness to deal with the pandemic in Iran, compared to other countries.
