Diagnosis of West Nile virus infections: Evaluation of different laboratory methods.
Article in World journal of virology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundThe diagnosis of West Nile virus (WNV) is challenging due to short-term and low-level viremia, flavivirus cross-reactivity, and long immunoglobulin M (IgM) persistence.
aimTo evaluate different methods for WNV detection [reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), IgM/IgG antibodies, IgG avidity] in serum, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and urine samples of patients with confirmed WNV infection.
methodsThe study included patients with confirmed WNV neuroinvasive infection (
resultsThe WNV-RNA detection rates were significantly higher in the urine (54.5%)/serum (46.4%) than in CSF (32.2%). According to the sampling time, the WNV-RNA detection rates in urine collected within 7 days/8-14/≥ 15 days were 29.4/66.6/62.5% (
conclusionThe frequency of WNV RNA and antibody detection depends on the sampling time and type of clinical samples. IgG avidity could differentiate recent WNV infections from long-persisting IgM antibodies.
