Accuracy of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) to diagnose COVID-19, a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Microbial pathogenesis, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo estimate the accuracy of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) in determining coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19).
methodsAs of January 31, 2022, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Science Direct, Wiley and Springer Link were searched. Sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratio (LR), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) and area under the summary receiver-operating characteristic (AUC) curve were used to assess the accuracy of CRISPR.
resultsAccording to the inclusion criteria, 5857 patients from 54 studies were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled sensitivity, specificity and AUC were 0.98, 1.00 and 1.00, respectively. For CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins-12, the sensitivity, specificity was 0.96, 1.00, respectively. For Cas-13, the sensitivity and specificity were 0.99 and 0.99.
conclusionThis meta-analysis showed that the diagnostic performance of CRISPR is close to the gold standard, and it is expected to meet the Point of care requirements in resource poor areas.
