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

An outbreak of a new coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), began in December 2019. Accurate, rapid, convenient, and relatively inexpensive diagnostic methods for SARS-CoV-2 infection are important for public health and optimal clinical care. The current gold standard for diagnosing SARS-CoV-2 infection is reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). However, RTPCR assays are designed for use in well-equipped laboratories with sophisticated laboratory infrastructure and highly trained technicians, and are unsuitable for use in under-equipped laboratories and in the field. In this study, we report the development of an accurate, rapid, and easy-to-implement isothermal and nonenzymatic signal amplification system (a catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) reaction) coupled with a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) strip-based detection method that can detect SARSCoV-2 in oropharyngeal swab samples. Our method avoids RNA isolation, PCR amplification, and elaborate result analysis, which typically takes 6-8 h. The entire CHA-LFIA detection method, from nasopharyngeal sampling to obtaining test results, takes less than 90 min. Such methods are simple and require no expensive equipment, only a simple thermostatically controlled water bath and a fluorescence reader device. We validated our method using synthetic oligonucleotides and clinical samples from 15 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection and 15 healthy individuals. Our detection method provides a fast, simple, and sensitive (with a limit of detection (LoD) of 2000 copies/mL) alternative to the SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR assay, with 100 % positive and negative predictive agreements.
