Use of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blot for the diagnosis and monitoring of neurocysticercosis.
Article in Parasitology research, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
A total of 70 proven cases of neurocysticercosis from la Réunion (Indian Ocean) were studied with enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) and immunoelectrotransfer blot (EITB) to detect specific antibodies in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Absorbance levels of antibody to crude Taenia solium cyst extract as an antigen were compared with EITB banding-pattern and computed tomography-scan results. The EITB analysis of sera and CSF from patients with active neurocysticercosis, confirmed with characteristic brain-scan imaging and highest ELISA absorbance, regularly revealed two bands with molecular weights of 13 and 14 kDa, respectively. These low-molecular-weight fractions are potential markers of active cerebral cysticercosis, a result obtained in the simple epidemiological situation of La Réunion (Indian Ocean). A parallel study is underway in Madagascar, where cross-reactivities with other parasitic diseases, including Schistosoma infections, may interfere.
