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

Candida parapsilosis is a common cause of candidiasis among hospitalized patients, often surpassing Candida albicans. Due to the recent increase in C. parapsilosis infections, there is an urgent need for rapid, sensitive, and real-time on-site detection of nucleic acids for timely diagnosis of candidiasis. We developed an assay for detection of C. parapsilosis by combining recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) with a lateral flow strip (LFS). The RPA-LFS assay was used to amplify the beta-1,3-glucan synthase catalytic subunit 2 (FKS2) gene of C. parapsilosis with a primer-probe set optimized by introducing base mismatches (four bases modified by the probe and one by the reverse primer) to achieve specific and sensitive detection of clinical samples. The RPA assays can rapidly amplify and visualize a target gene within 30 min, while the entire process can be completed within 40 min by pre-processing the sample. The product of RPA has two chemical labels, FITC and Biotin, of the amplification product can be carefully on the strip. The sensitivity and specificity of the RPA-LFS assay were determined by analysis of 35 common clinical pathogens and 281 clinical samples against quantitative PCR. The results confirmed that the proposed RPA-LFS assay is a reliable molecular diagnostic method for the detection of C. parapsilosis to meet the urgent need for rapid, specific, sensitive, and portable field testing.
