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

backgroundRapid diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is key to controlling the spread of tuberculosis, which is a global health concern. In this study, isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) was developed to detect specific targets of Mtb, IS6110 and IS1081. Additionally, SYBR Green I was used for endpoint detection of the RPA products by the naked eye.

methodA total of 146 genomic Mtb DNA samples and 24 genomic nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) DNA samples were amplified at IS6110 and IS1081 by RPA. After a complete amplification, the RPA amplicons were examined by agarose gel electrophoresis (RPA-AGE) and SYBR Green I (RPA-S) assays. The performance of the RPA assays was evaluated by comparing them to a conventional PCR.

resultsThe RPA assay demonstrated to have a good capability to differentiate Mtb from NTM with a very short turnaround time at a constant temperature. Compared to conventional PCR, the sensitivities and specificities of RPA-AGE for IS6110 and IS1081 were 100%. The specificity of RPA-S was 100% for both targets; however, its sensitivities for IS6110 and IS1081 were 97.95% and 99.32%, respectively. The limits of detection of IS6110 RPA-AGE and RPA-S were 0.05 and 0.5 ng, respectively, while the LODs of IS1081 RPA-AGE and RPA-S were 0.00005 and 0.05 ng, respectively. Both RPA assays showed a satisfying diagnostic specificity, with no cross-reaction with other bacteria.

conclusionA rapid, sensitive, naked eye RPA assay can be integrated into point-of-care diagnosis for Mtb detection, especially in remote areas where laboratory instrument resources are limited.
