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

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is one of the most dangerous and prevalent agents that causes acute and chronic liver diseases in humans. Genotyping plays an important role in determining clinical outcomes and response to antiviral treatment in HBV-infected patients. Here, we first devised a CRISPR-based testing platform, termed "CRISPR-HBV," for ultrasensitive, highly specific, and rapid detection of two major HBV genotypes (HBV-B and HBV-C) in clinical application. The CRISPR-HBV employed multiple cross displacement amplification (MCDA) for rapid preamplification and then Cas12b-based detection for decoding the targets. Finally, the detection result was read out with real-time fluorescence and a lateral flow biosensor. The sensitivity of CRISPR-HBV was 10 copies per test. The specificity was one hundred percent, and no cross reactions were observed in other HBV genotypes and pathogens. The whole detection process, including DNA template extraction (15 min), preamplification reaction of MCDA (30 min at 65°C), CRISPR-Cas12b-based detection (5 min at 37°C), and results readout (∼2 min), could be completed within 1 h. The feasibility of the CRISPR-HBV assay for genotyping HBV-B and -C as successfully validated with clinical samples. Hence, the CRISPR-HBV assay has remarkable potential to develop a point-of-care testing for identifying and distinguishing HBV genotypes B and C in clinical settings, especially in resource-scarcity countries.
