Hepatitis E virus seroprevalence among employees in catering and public place industries in Nanjing, China.

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
This study aimed to assess the prevalence of anti-hepatitis E virus (HEV) immunoglobulin (Ig) M and elevated serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels among employees in catering and public place industries. Blood samples were collected between January and December 2020 from 26,790 employees working in the Qinhuai district of Nanjing, China. Anti-HEV IgM in the serum samples was tested by the capture ELISA method and ALT was tested by the IFCC method. Samples positive for anti-HEV IgM or with ALT levels over 200 U/L were subjected to PCR screening of HEV RNA. The overall seroprevalence of anti-HEV IgM was 0.41%, and the seroprevalence was slightly higher in males (0.47%) than in females (0.37%); however, the difference was not substantial (
