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

High-resolution melting (HRM) analysis was performed to detect G339D and D796Y variations in the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant spike protein. We employed two-step PCR consisting of the first RT-PCR and the second nested PCR to prepare the amplicon for HRM analysis. The melting temperatures (Tm) of the amplicon from the cDNA of the Omicron variant receptor binding domain (RBD) were 73.1 °C (G339D variation) and 75.1 °C (D796Y variation), respectively. These Tm values were clearly distinct from those of SARS-CoV-2 isolate Wuhan-Hu-1. HRM analysis after the two-step PCR was conducted on Omicron variant-positive specimens. The HRM curve and Tm value obtained with the Omicron variant-positive specimen were coincident with those of the amplicon from cDNA of the Omicron variant RBD. Our study demonstrates the utility of HRM analysis after two-step PCR for the detection of mutations in SARS-CoV-2 gene.
