Sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay compared with Pastorex latex agglutination test for diagnosing invasive aspergillosis in immunocompromised patients.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 42 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
The performance of a direct sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detecting Aspergillus galactomannan was compared with that of the Pastorex Aspergillus antigen latex agglutination (LA) test by using 532 serum samples from 61 patients at risk for invasive aspergillosis. The ELISA gave positive results earlier in the course of infection than did the LA test. A sensitivity of 70% and a specificity of 86% were obtained for the LA test and corresponding values of 90 and 84% were obtained for the ELISA when a series of serum samples was employed.
