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

Infectious bursal disease is a highly contagious disease of young chickens caused by the infectious bursal disease virus. This disease poses an important threat to the commercial poultry industry globally. This study was designed to develop an In-House Indirect Enzyme-Linked Immune Sorbent Assay Kit for the serological detection of antibodies against infectious bursal disease viruses. An infectious bursal disease virus antigen dilution (1:2), sample serum (1:500), and mouse anti-chicken immunoglobulin G (IgG) labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) (1:2,000) were used in this assay. The calculated cutoff value was 0.24. This in-house indirect ELISA method was compared with a commercial ELISA kit for the detection of antibodies against infectious bursal disease virus in chickens. The performance of the newly developed and commercial ELISA kit was evaluated as described by Samad et al. (1994). The sensitivity and specificity of the current ELISA method were 98% (95% CI: 92.96-99.76) and 97% (95% CI: 91.48-99.38), respectively. The average intra-assay % CV of the triplet of 2 samples was 7.6, and interassay comparisons indicated a CV of 5.45%. As indicated by the results, we described a valuable and cost-effective, sensitive and specific in-house indirect ELISA kit for the serological diagnosis of infectious bursal disease in Ethiopia.
