Production and Characterization of a SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Protein Reference Material.
Article in ACS measurement science au, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Rapid antigen tests have become a widely used COVID-19 diagnostic tool with demand accelerating in response to the highly contagious SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant. Hundreds of such test kits are approved for use worldwide, predominantly reporting on the presence of the viral nucleocapsid (N) protein, yet the comparability among manufacturers remains unclear and the need for reference standards is recognized. To address this lack of standardization, the National Research Council Canada has developed a SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein reference material solution, NCAP-1. Reference value determination for N protein content was realized by amino acid analysis (AAA) via double isotope dilution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ID-MS/MS) following acid hydrolysis of the protein, in conjunction with UV spectrophotometry based on tryptophan and tyrosine absorbance at 280 nm. The homogeneity of the material was established through spectrophotometric absorbance readings at 280 nm. The molar concentration of the N protein in NCAP-1 was 10.0 ± 1.9 μmol L
