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

In order to combat the growing threat of global infectious diseases, there is a need for rapid diagnostic technologies that are sensitive and that can provide species specific information (as might be needed to direct therapy as resistant strains of microbes emerge). Here, we present a convenient, enzyme-free amplification mechanism for a rational hybridization chain reaction, which is implemented in a simple format for isothermal amplification and sensing, applied to the DNA-based diagnosis of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in 54 patients. During the cycled amplification process, DNA monomers self-assemble in an organized and controllable way only when a specific target HBV sequence is present. This mechanism is confirmed using super-resolution stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy. The enabled format is designed in a manner analogous to an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, generating colored products with distinct tonality and with a limit of detection of ca. five copies/reaction. This routine assay also showed excellent sensitivity (>97%) in clinical samples demonstrating the potential of this convenient, low cost, enzyme-free method for use in low resource settings.
