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

Serological testing for SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies, particularly those targeting the nucleocapsid protein, plays a key role in assessing past infection and estimating population-level seroprevalence. The seroprevalence of nucleocapsid antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 was evaluated in 1048 blood donors using the Elecsys Anti-SARS-CoV-2 electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. Participants completed a questionnaire to assess risk factors, symptoms during SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination status. The overall SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence was 89.69%. Seroprevalence was not significantly associated with gender or age. In multivariate logistic regression, most investigated risk factors showed no significant association with seroprevalence. However, residence area and vaccination status were independently associated with SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity. Donors from rural areas had significantly higher odds of seropositivity (aOR = 1.68; 95% CI: 1.01-2.79;
