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 spreading of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) across the world has impacted people's health and lives worldwide in recent years. Rapid and accurate diagnosis is crucial for curbing the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) has great potential for SARS-CoV-2 detection but fails to completely replace conventional PCR due to the high false-positive rate (FPR). We proposed a triple-target RT-LAMP method for dual-signal, sensitive, and simultaneous detection of conserved genes of SARS-CoV-2. Multiple LAMP primer sets were designed for N, E, and M genes and their amplification efficacy were screened. Then, using artificial plasmids and RNA, the optimal primer set for each gene was examined on specificity, sensitivity, and detection range. The RT-LAMP initiated by these primer sets exhibited better specificity and sensitivity than that of RT-qPCR, and the triple-target RT-LAMP could determine different variants of SARS-CoV-2. By testing 78 artificial RNA samples, the total FPR of triple-target RT-LAMP was eliminated compared with that of mono-target RT-LAMP. The triple-target RT-LAMP method precisely identified throat swab specimens through colorimetry and fluorescent signals within 60 min, and the limit of detection (LOD) was as low as 187 copies/reaction. In the future, the triple-target RT-LAMP can be applied to in-field and on-site diagnosis of symptomatic and asymptomatic virus carriers.
