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

backgroundRNA viruses periodically trigger pandemics of severe human diseases, frequently causing enormous economic losses. Here, a nucleic acid extraction-free and amplification-free RNA virus testing probe was proposed for the sensitive and simple detection of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), based on a double-stranded molecular beacon method. This RNA virus probe contains two base sequences-a recognition strand that binds to the specific domain of CSFV N2 or SARS-CoV-2 N, with a fluorophore (FAM) labeled at the 5' end, and a complementary strand (CSFV-Probe B or SARS-CoV-2-Probe B), combined with a quencher (BHQ2) labeled at the 3' end.

resultsUsing linear molecular beacon probe technology, the detection limit of the RNA virus probe corresponding to CSFV and SARS-CoV-2 were as low as 0.28 nM and 0.24 nM, respectively. After CSFV E2 and SARS-CoV-2 N genes were transfected into corresponding host cells, the monitoring of RNA virus probes showed that fluorescence signals were dramatically enhanced in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. These results were supported by those of quantitative (qRT-PCR) and visualization (confocal microscopy) analyses. Furthermore, CSF-positive swine samples and simulated SARS-CoV-2 infected mouse samples were used to demonstrate their applicability for different distributions of viral nucleic acids in series tissues.

conclusionsThe proposed RNA virus probe could be used as a PCR-free, cost-effective, and rapid point-of-care (POC) diagnostic platform for target RNA virus detection, holding great potential for the convenient monitoring of different RNA viruses for early mass virus screening.
