An Overview of SARS-CoV-2 Molecular Diagnostics in Europe.
Review in Clinics in laboratory medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the rapid development of a plethora of molecular diagnostic assays with real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) at the forefront. In this review, we will discuss the history and utility of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) molecular diagnostics and the associated current and future regulatory process in Europe. We will assess the performance characteristics of a range of the most common SARS-CoV-2 molecular tests currently used in Europe with a focus on as rapid molecular platforms, stand-alone RT-PCR kits, the role of low-throughput and high-throughput end-to-end testing platforms, and the rapidly evolving field of SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern identification.
