Integrated microscale immiscible phase extraction and isothermal amplification for colorimetric detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Article in Analytical and bioanalytical chemistry, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Gonorrhea is the second most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) with around 87 million cases worldwide estimated in 2016 by the World Health Organization. With over half of the cases being asymptomatic, potential life-threatening complications and increasing numbers of drug-resistant strains, routine monitoring of prevalence and incidence of infections are key preventive measures. Whilst gold standard qPCR tests have excellent accuracy, they are neither affordable nor accessible in low-resource settings. In this study, we developed a lab-on-a-chip platform based on microscale immiscible filtration to extract, concentrate and purify Neisseria gonorrhoeae DNA with an integrated detection assay based on colorimetric isothermal amplification. The platform was capable of detecting as low as 500 copies/mL from spiked synthetic urine and showed no cross-reactivity when challenged with DNAs from other common STIs. The credit card-size device allows DNA extraction and purification without power or centrifuges, and the detection reaction only needs a low-tech block heater, providing a straightforward and visual positive/negative result within 1 h. These advantages offer great potential for accurate, affordable and accessible monitoring of gonorrhea infection in resource-poor settings.
