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

Benefiting from emerging miniaturized and equipment-free nucleic acid testing (NAT) technologies, fully integrated NAT devices at point of care (POC) with the capability of "sample-in-answer-out" are proceeding at a break-neck speed to eliminate complex operations and reduce the risk of contamination. Like the development of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology (the standard technique for NAT), the detection signal of fully integrated NAT devices has evolved from qualitative to quantitative and recently to digital readout, aiming at expanding their extensive applications through gradually improving detection sensitivity and accuracy. This review firstly introduces the existing commercial products, and then illustrates recent fully integrated microfluidic devices for NAT at POC from the aspect of detection signals (i.e., qualitative, quantitative and digital). Importantly, the key issues of existing commercial products and the main challenges between scientific research and product development are discussed. On this basis, we envision that the MARCHED (miniaturized, automatic, reagent-preloaded, commercializable, high-throughput, environment-independent and disposable) NAT devices are expected to be realized in the near future.
