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

In this study, non-electrically controlled SalivaDirect loop-mediated isothermal amplification (NEC-SD-LAMP), which can detect infections by amplifying viral DNA expression in saliva without using electrical control systems, was developed. By this method, only by adding water to the device, viral DNA was extracted from saliva using SalivaDirect, the extracted DNA was amplified via loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), and the results were visually confirmed. Melting palmitic acid maintained the optimal temperature for the LAMP reaction, as the temperature of palmitic acid is maintained at 62.9 °C, its melting point. By exploiting the proximity of the melting point to the optimal temperature for LAMP, LAMP can be performed without electricity. We detected several viruses in the saliva using this method. NEC-SD-LAMP could clearly distinguish 3 types of viral DNA, indicating the high specificity of this reaction. Furthermore, the viral concentration detection limit of the device was 2 copies per µL, indicating that it is possible to detect DNA viral infections in saliva even before the onset of viral infection.
