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

The pandemic coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is the causative agent of the acute respiratory disease COVID-19, which has become a global concern due to its rapid spread and high mortality rate. Detection and quantification of the (+) ssRNA virus, which has a genome size of 29,903 nucleotides, is commonly performed via reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) targeting conserved sequences. Here, we describe a one-step RT-qPCR protocol for the quantitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 genomic RNA targeting M and RdRP genes, respectively, as well as active virus replication detecting subgenomic RNAs (sgRNA 4 and 8) that are formed by discontinuous transcription of the viral genome. Concomitantly, an input control targeting the human RNaseP gene (RPP30) was used in multiplex PCR to monitor the input of human nucleic acids. In vitro-transcribed RNA harboring the amplicon regions for M and RdRP regions served to set up a standard curve for absolute quantification.In conclusion, the method described here allows for the detection and quantification of SARS-CoV-2 RNA isoforms for research by both using a probe-based or SYBR Green-based approach, but is also suitable for diagnostic purposes.
