Paired serial limiting dilution assays.
Article in Statistics in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Serial limiting dilution (SLD) assays are a widely used tool in many areas of public health research to measure the concentration of target entities. This concentration can be estimated via maximum likelihood. Asymptotic as well as exact inference methods have been proposed for hypothesis testing and confidence interval construction in this one-sample problem. However, in many scientific applications, it may be of interest to compare the concentration of target entities between a pair of samples and construct valid confidence intervals for the difference in concentrations. In this paper, an exact, computationally efficient inferential procedure is proposed for hypothesis testing and confidence interval construction in the two-sample SLD assay problem. The proposed exact method is compared to an approach based on asymptotic approximations in simulation studies. The methods are illustrated using data from the University of North Carolina HIV Cure Center.
