Article Title: Comparison of Schistosoma mansoni Prevalence and Intensity of Infection, as Determined by the Circulating Cathodic Antigen Urine Assay or by the Kato-Katz Fecal Assay: A Systematic Review
doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.15-0725
Figure Lengend Snippet: Scatterplot and median infection intensities (average eggs per gram feces, as determined by Kato-Katz assay) for subpopulations sorted according to observed antigen band densities detected on the point-of-care circulating cathodic antigen (CCA) urine assay ( N = 5 publications). POC-CCA band densities were reported on a semiquantitative, ordinal scale as zero, trace, 1+, 2+, or 3+ values. Trace is considered a positive test according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Article Snippet: The association between these KK and POC-CCA values was assessed visually by scatterplot using GraphPad Prism 6 software.
