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

purposeInterferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) are widely used to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection by measuring antigen-specific T-cell responses through interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) release. Interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (IP-10), an IFN-inducible cytokine released in higher concentrations after antigen stimulation, may improve assay robustness and sensitivity. We evaluated the performance of the novel IP-10-based RIDASCREEN

methodsIn this prospective study, 209 patients undergoing routine T-SPOT

resultsAccording to the consensus classification, 19/209 (9.1%) samples were positive, 186/209 (89.0%) negative, and 2/209 (1.0%) equivocal. Full three-way concordance was observed in 83.7% of patients, and true discordance was uncommon (7.7%). RIDASCREEN
