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

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic caused by a novel coronavirus called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). To date, the virus has been detected in 219 countries of the world. Therefore, managing the disease becomes the priority, in which detecting the presence of the virus is a crucial step. Presently, real-time RT polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is considered a gold standard nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT). The test protocol of RT-qPCR is complicated, places high demands on equipment, testing reagents, research personnel skills and is expensive. Therefore, simpler point-of-care (POC) tests are needed to accelerate clinical decision-making and take some of the workload from centralized test laboratories. Various isothermal amplification-based assays have been developed for the sensitive detection of different microorganisms, and recently some of them have been applied for detection of SARS-CoV-2. These do not require any programable thermocycler, can produce the results in a single temperature, and therefore, are considered simple. Unlike RT-qPCR, these methods are highly sensitive, specific, less time-consuming, simple and affordable, and can be used as POC diagnostic kit for COVID-19. In this review, we have discussed the potential of isothermal amplification-based assays as an alternative to RT-qPCR for the detection of SARS-CoV-2.
