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

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic led to an urgent need for rapid diagnostic testing in order to inform timely patients' management. This study aimed to assess the performance of the STANDARD™ M10 SARS-CoV-2 assay as a diagnostic tool for COVID-19. A total of 400 nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swabs were tested against a reference real-time RT-PCR, including 200 positive samples spanning the full range of observed Ct values. The sensitivity of the STANDARD™ M10 SARS-CoV-2 assay was 98.00% (95% CI 94.96% to 99.45%, 196/200), while the specificity was also estimated at 97.50% (95% CI 94.26% to 99.18%, 195/200). The assay proved highly efficient for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, even in samples with low viral load (Ct>25), presenting lower Ct values compared to the reference method. We concluded that the STANDARD™ M10 SARS-CoV-2 assay has a similar performance compared to the reference method and other molecular point-of-care assays and can be a valuable tool for rapid and accurate diagnosis.
