Use of LoopDeelab during the COVID-19 Pandemic: An Innovative Device for Field Diagnosis.
Trial report in Viruses, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 and accurate diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection is essential for the management of the COVID-19 outbreak. RT-LAMP LoopDeetect COVID-19 (LoopDeescience, France) is a rapid molecular diagnostic tool which operates with the LoopDeelab (LoopDeescience, France) device. RAPID COVID is a prospective double-blind research protocol which was conducted to evaluate the concordance between Loopdeetect COVID-19 and RT-PCR Allplex 2019 n-Cov (Seegene, Korea). Between 11 May 2020 and 14 June 2021, a total of 1122 nasopharyngeal swab specimens were collected, of which 741 were finally analysed. There were 32 "positive" and "indeterminate" RT-PCR results. The intrinsic performances of Loopdeetect COVID-19 are equivalent to other commercial RT-LAMP PCR COVID-19 kits, with a sensitivity and specificity of 69.23% [CI 95%: 48.21-85.67] and 100% [CI 95%: 99.58-100.00], respectively. To the best of our knowledge, LoopDeelab is the only LAMP PCR diagnostic device allowing such a fast and reliable analysis with low-cost equipment; this makes it a new and innovative technology, designed for field use. This device being portable, the development of other detection kits will be useful for the management of epidemics with a high attack rate and would facilitate the rapid application of health measures.
