The Mathematics of Serocatalytic Models With Applications to Public Health Data.
Article in Statistics in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Serocatalytic models are powerful tools which can be used to infer historical infection patterns from age-structured serological surveys. These surveys are especially useful when disease surveillance is limited and have an important role to play in providing a ground truth gauge of infection burden. In this tutorial, we consider a wide range of serocatalytic models to generate epidemiological insights. With mathematical analysis, we explore the properties and intuition behind these models and include applications to real data for a range of pathogens and epidemiological scenarios. We also include practical steps and code in R and Stan for interested learners to build experience with this modeling framework. Our work highlights the usefulness of serocatalytic models and shows that accounting for the epidemiological context is crucial when using these models to understand infectious disease epidemiology.
