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

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic, significantly impacting global health, economies, and social stability. In February 2020, the first cases of SARS-CoV-2 infections in animals were documented, highlighting the potential risks posed by regular human-animal interactions in facilitating viral transmission. In consequence, it is essential to validate surveillance methods for SARS-CoV-2 in animals. In the present study, 101 sera from different animal species (36 cats, 41 dogs, 4 ferrets, 10 wild boar, 6 domestic goats, and 4 lions) were tested using three different ELISA kits to evaluate humoral responses against SARS-CoV-2. ELISA results were compared and correlated with a pseudovirus neutralization test (pVNT), considered as the reference assay. ELISA-1, targeting the receptor binding domain (RBD) neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) of SARS-CoV-2, exhibited the highest diagnostic performance, and proved to be a reliable tool for initial screenings in high-throughput animal studies. In contrast, ELISA-2 (also targeting RBD nAbs) and ELISA-3 (targeting nucleoprotein antibodies) demonstrated lower sensitivity for detecting seropositive animals.
