Table 1.
Overview of study participants.
Table 2.
Clinical outcomes at endpoint with baseline comparisons on: electrocardiogram readout, and reported general cardiac and digestive symptoms.
Fig 1.
Average OD decline over five years.
The average OD declined for both test types from baseline to year five. The total antigen ELISA is represented by a solid line; the recombinant ELISA is represented by a dotted line.
Fig 2.
Five-year evolution of OD readouts from ELISA tests based on total antigen and recombinant antigen.
Box plots were used to graph the variation in OD readouts among the study sample for each year (total antigen- left; recombinant- right).
Fig 3.
Percent change from baseline was calculated for each year by test type (total antigen- left; recombinant- right).
Fig 4.
OD change from baseline to final year.
This graph presents the percentage of samples that had either a 1) net increase, 2) net decrease, or 3) no change in their OD readouts from baseline to year five (total antigen- left; recombinant- right).
Fig 5.
Ranked OD net percent decrease.
This graph presents the net decrease of samples by test type (total antigen- left; recombinant- right).
