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

objectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic value of recombinase polymerase/ aided amplification (RPA/RAA) integrated clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) in the diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

methodsWe searched relevant literature on CRISPR technology for COVID-19 diagnosis using "novel coronavirus", "clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats" and "RPA/RAA" as subject terms in PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Embase databases. Further, we performed a meta-analysis after screening the literature, quality assessment, and data extraction.

resultsThe pooled sensitivity, specificity and a rea under the summary receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) were 0.98 [95% confidence interval (CI):0.97-0.99], 0.99 (95% CI: 0.97-1.00) and 1.00 (95% CI: 0.98-1.00), respectively. For CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins-12, the sensitivity, specificity was 0.98 (95% CI: 0.96-1.00), 1.00 (95% CI: 0.99-1.00), respectively. For Cas13, the sensitivity and specificity were 0.99 (95% CI: 0.97-1.00) and 0.95 (95% CI: 0.91-1.00). The positive likelihood ratio (PLR) was 183.2 (95% CI: 28.8, 1166.8); the negative likelihood ratio (NLR) was 0.02 (95% CI: 0.01, 0.03).

conclusionRPA/RAA integrated with CRISPR technology is used to diagnose coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) with high accuracy and can be used for large-scale population screening.
