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

Accurate and simple diagnostic tests for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are essential components of the pandemic response. In this study, we evaluated a one-tube reverse transcription-loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay coupled with clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-associated protein-mediated endpoint detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA in clinical samples. RT-LAMP-CRISPR is fast and affordable, does not require bulky thermocyclers, and minimizes carryover contamination risk. Results can be read either visually or with a fluorometer. RT-LAMP-CRISPR assays using primers targeting a highly expressed nsp8 gene and previously described nucleocapsid (N) gene primers were designed. The analytical characteristics and diagnostic performance of RT-LAMP-CRISPR assays were compared to those of a commercial real-time RT-PCR E gene assay. The limits of detection (LODs) of the nsp8 and N RT-LAMP-CRISPR assays were 750 and 2,000 copies/mL, which were higher than that of the commercial real-time RT-PCR assay (31.3 copies/mL). Despite the higher LOD, RT-LAMP-CRISPR assays showed diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of 98.6% and 100%, respectively, equivalent to those of the real-time RT-PCR assay (
