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
backgroundThe coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, is the causative agent for COVID-19, first registered in Wuhan, China and responsible for more than 6 million deaths worldwide. Currently, RT-PCR is the gold-standard method for diagnosing COVID-19. However, serological tests are needed for screening acute disease diagnosis and screening large populations during the COVID-19 outbreak.
objectivesHerein, we described the development and validation of an in-house enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detecting the levels of anti-spike-1-RBD IgM antibody (CovIgM-ELISA) in well-defined serum/plasma panel for screening and identifying subjects infected with SARS-CoV-2 in a Latin population.
methodIn-house CovIgM-ELISA has the format of an indirect ELISA. It was optimized by checkerboard titration using recombinant SARS-CoV-2 spike-S1-RBD protein as an antigen.
resultsWe found that, compared to the RT-PCR as the standard method, the in-house CovIgM-ELISA displayed sensitivities of 96.15% and 93.22% for samples collected up to 30 or 60 days after infection, respectively, as well as 95.59% specificity with 97.3% accuracy. The agreement kappa value (
conclusionsThese data indicate that our in-house CovIgM-ELISA is a compatible performing assay for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
