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

Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) is an isothermal amplification assay that has been ubiquitously utilized in the detection of infectious agents. Like any nucleic acid amplification technology, primer-template complementarity is critical to RPA reaction success. Mismatches arising in the primer-template complex are known to impact reaction kinetics, invalidate downstream analysis, such as nucleic acid quantification, and result in false negatives if used in a diagnostic capacity. Although the impact of specific primer-template mismatches has been well characterized for techniques such as PCR, characterization remains limited for RPA. Through our study, we systematically characterize the impact of mismatches on the RPA reaction, when located in the 3'-anchor region of the primer-template complex. Our investigation identified that the nucleotides involved, as well as position of each mismatch, influence the size of the impact, with terminal cytosine-thymine and guanine-adenine mismatches being the most detrimental. The presence of some mismatch combinations, such as a penultimate cytosine-cytosine and a terminal cytosine-adenine mismatch pairing, led to complete RPA reaction inhibition. Through the successful characterization of 315 mismatch combinations, researchers can optimize their RPA assay accordingly and seek to implement RPA technology for rapid, in-field genotyping.
