1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Due to its low cost and simplicity, the sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (sELISA) is a traditional technique for identifying foodborne pathogens. However, most sELISAs are designed for single foodborne pathogen detection using two specific antibodies, which capture and detect the target bacteria. This study aimed to produce and characterize a common capture polyclonal antibody for Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), Salmonella Typhimurium, and Shigella flexneri (S. flexneri) by a sELISA. Rabbit polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) were generated against recombinant proteins of CsgA, FhuA, and OmpA, which we called anti-mix. The recombinant proteins generated are conserved in Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, and S. flexneri species, but not in Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) and Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis). The anti-mix serum gave a title higher than 1:32,000 by an indirect ELISA using purified recombinant proteins and whole bacteria cultures of the bacteria expressing the antigens but failed to recognize L. monocytogenes and E. faecalis. In addition, a recombinant protein A was purified and used to orient the capture antibodies (anti-mix) in the sELISA. However, no statistically significant difference was found in the assay sensitivity for ETEC detection in spiked milk samples with or without protein A. The assay linearity of sELISA for ETEC detection in Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was from 1 × 10
