An enhanced isothermal amplification assay for viral detection.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Rapid, inexpensive, robust diagnostics are essential to control the spread of infectious diseases. Current state of the art diagnostics are highly sensitive and specific, but slow, and require expensive equipment. We developed a molecular diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2, FIND (Fast Isothermal Nucleic acid Detection), based on an enhanced isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification reaction. FIND has a detection limit on patient samples close to that of RT-qPCR, requires minimal instrumentation, and is highly scalable and cheap. It can be performed in high throughput, does not cross-react with other common coronaviruses, avoids bottlenecks caused by the current worldwide shortage of RNA isolation kits, and takes ~45 minutes from sample collection to results. FIND can be adapted to future novel viruses in days once sequence is available. ONE SENTENCE SUMMARY: Sensitive, specific, rapid, scalable, enhanced isothermal amplification method for detecting SARS-CoV-2 from patient samples.
