[Positivity of antigen test in healthcare workers in the first week after diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection.]
Article in Revista espanola de salud publica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe
methodsWe calculated the proportion of healthcare professionals who had symptoms on the 5
results1,085 cases of COVID-19 were diagnosed among healthcare professionals. 18.62% (95%CI 16.34-21.63; n=202/1,085) were still symptomatic on the 5th day. 55.27% (95% CI 51.92-58.58; n=488/833) of the Ag tests performed after return to work were positive. The mean number of days to perform the Ag test after diagnosis was 6.76 days (SD 0.76).
conclusionsOur results show a high proportion of positive results one week after diagnosis of COVID-19 in asymptomatic patients. Taking into account that in the general population, discharge is based on clinical and temporal criteria, and assuming that not every positive test indicates infectivity, adopting a strategy similar to the rest of the population in healthcare workers would be considered plausible.
