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

On-site severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) serological assays allow for timely in-field decisions to be made regarding patient status, also enabling population-wide screening to assist in controlling the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Here we propose a rapid microfluidic serological assay with two unique functions of nanointerstice filling and digitized flow control, which enable the fast/robust filling of the sample fluid as well as precise regulation of duration and volume of immune reaction. Developed microfluidic assay showed enhanced limit of detection, and 91.67% sensitivity and 100% specificity (n = 152) for clinical samples of SARS CoV-2 patients. The assay enables daily monitoring of IgM/IgG titers and patterns, which could be crucial parameters for convalescence from COVID-19 and provide important insight into how the immune system responds to SARS CoV-2. The developed on-site microfluidic assay presented the mean time for IgM and IgG seroconversions, indicating that these titers plateaued days after seroconversion. The mean duration from day 0 to PCR negativity was 19.4 days (median 20 d, IQR 16-21 d), with higher IgM/IgG titres being observed when PCR positive turns into negative. Simple monitoring of these titres promotes rapid on-site detection and comprehensive understanding of the immune response of COVID-19 patients.
