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

Rapid lateral flow immune-assays are point-of-care diagnostic tools that are easy to use, cheap, and do not need centralized infrastructure. Therefore, these devices are appealing for rapid detection of the humoral immune responses to infections, particularly severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The novel technique introduced here uses a complex of anti-SARS-CoV-2 N-protein antibodies conjugated to gold nanoparticles that are bound to five SARS-CoV-2 N protein conjugated to gold nanoparticles to amplify the signals obtained from the conjugated SARS-CoV-2 N protein and to enhance the assay detection limit. To validate the performance of the adopted lateral flow, serum from SARS-CoV-2 seropositive individuals and prepandamic negative samples are tested and compared to a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 N protein specific IgG and IgM antibodies. The data shows that the designed lateral flow assay has an excellent sensitivity and specificity upon detecting IgM and IgG antibodies by applying only 2 µL from the serum sample to the adopted strips. Taken together, the developed lateral flow immunoassay assay provides a rapid, specific, and highly sensitive means to detect the immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 with only 2 µL from the serum sample.
