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

Accurate and rapid detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is significant for early tracing, isolation, and treatment of infected individuals, which will efficiently prevent large-scale transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Here, two kinds of test strips for receptor binding domain (RBD) and N antigens of SARS-CoV-2 are established with high sensitivity and specificity, in which AIE luminogens (AIEgens) are utilized as reporters. Because of the high brightness and resistance to quenching in aqueous solution, the limit of detection can be as low as 6.9 ng/mL for RBD protein and 7.2 ng/mL for N protein. As an antigen collector, an N95 mask equipped with a test strip with an excellent enrichment effect would efficiently simplify the sampling procedures. Compared with a test strip based on Au nanoparticles or fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), the AIEgen-based test strip shows high anti-interference capacity in complex biosamples. Therefore, an AIEgen-based test strip assay could be built as a promising platform for emergency use during the pandemic.
