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

SARS-CoV-2 infections continue to spread quickly by human-to-human transmission around the world. Therefore, developing methods to rapidly detect SARS-CoV-2 with high sensitivity are still urgently needed. We produced a monoclonal antibody that specifically detects the N protein of SARS-CoV-2 and recognizes N protein in cell lysates of SARS-CoV-2-infected Vero cells but not in cell lysates of MERS-CoV- or HCoV-OC43-infected Vero cells. This antibody recognized N protein in SARS-CoV-2 clades S, GR, and GH and recognized N protein in all the SARS-CoV-2 clades to ∼300 pfu. Previously, we reported that the coronavirus N protein interacts with the C-terminal domain of the spike protein (Spike CD). In this study, we developed an ELISA-based "bait and prey" system to confirm the interaction between SARS-CoV-2 Spike CD and N protein using recombinant fusion proteins. Furthermore, this system can be modified to quantitatively detect SARS-CoV-2 in culture media of infected cells by monitoring the interaction between the recombinant Spike CD fusion protein and the viral N protein, which is captured by the N protein-specific antibody. Therefore, we conclude that our N protein-specific monoclonal antibody and our ELISA-based bait and prey system could be used to diagnose SARS-CoV-2 infections.
