Sensitivity of three antibody assays to SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein in relation to timing since diagnosis.
Article in GHM open, 2022. 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
The sensitivity of immunoassay for antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 may decrease over time. We compared three serology assays against SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein using serum samples of 20 health care workers with a history of mild PCR-confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) at various timing since diagnosis. Overall, the sensitivity (95% confidence interval) was 95.0 (75.1-99.9), 60.0 (36.1-81.0), and 45.0 (23.1-68.5) for the Roche, Sysmex, and Abbott assays, respectively. The sensitivity of all these assays exceeded 80 for those diagnosed within 6 months, whereas it varied considerably for those diagnosed more than 6 months ago: 88.9 (Roche) versus 0 (Abbott). The present data provide a reference for researchers planning serological studies and interpreting these data. Such assay difference in terms of detection durability can be used, if used in combination, for the estimation of the timing of previously undetected infection.
