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

Rapid, sensitive, and specific detection of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV)- 2 during early infection is pivotal in controlling the spread and pathological progression of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Thus, highly accurate, affordable, and scalable point-of-care (POC) diagnostic technologies are necessary. Herein, we developed a rapid and efficient self-directed molecular diagnostic (SdMDx) system for SARS-CoV-2. This system combines the sample preparation step, including virus enrichment and extraction processes, which involve dimethyl suberimidate dihydrochloride and diatomaceous earth functionalized with 3-aminopropyl(diethoxy)methylsilane, and the detection step using loop-mediated isothermal amplification-lateral flow assay (LAMP-LFA). Using the SdMDx system, SARS-CoV-2 could be detected within 47 min by hand without the need for any larger instruments. The SdMDx system enabled detection as low as 0.05 PFU in the culture fluid of SARS-CoV-2-infected VeroE6 cells. We validated the accuracy of the SdMDx system on 38 clinical nasopharyngeal specimens. The clinical utility of the SdMDx system for targeting the S gene of SARS-CoV-2 showed 94.4% sensitivity and 100% specificity. This system is more sensitive than antigen and antibody assays, and it minimizes the use of complicated processes and reduces contamination risks. Accordingly, we demonstrated that the SdMDx system enables a rapid, accurate, simple, efficient, and inexpensive detection of SARS-CoV-2 at home, in emergency facilities, and in low-resource sites as a pre-screening platform and POC testing through self-operation and self-diagnosis.
