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

Frequent and accessible testing is a critical tool to contain the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). To develop low-cost rapid tests, many researchers have used reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) with fluorescent readout. Fluorescent LAMP-based assays can be performed using cost-effective, portable, isothermal instruments that are simpler to use and more rugged than polymerase chain reaction (PCR) instruments. However, false-positive results due to nonspecific priming and amplification have been reported for a number of LAMP-based assays. In this report, we implemented a RT-LAMP assay for SARS-CoV-2 on a portable isothermal fluorimeter and a traditional thermocycler; nonspecific amplification was not observed using the thermocycler but did occur frequently with the isothermal fluorimeter. We explored 4 strategies to optimize the SARS-CoV-2 RT-LAMP assay for use with an isothermal fluorimeter and found that overlaying the reaction with mineral oil and including the enzyme
