Multiplexed discrimination of SARS-CoV-2 variants via plasmonic-enhanced fluorescence in a portable and automated device.
Article in Nature biomedical engineering, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Portable assays for the rapid identification of lineages of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are needed to aid large-scale efforts in monitoring the evolution of the virus. Here we report a multiplexed assay in a microarray format for the detection, via isothermal amplification and plasmonic-gold-enhanced near-infrared fluorescence, of variants of SARS-CoV-2. The assay, which has single-nucleotide specificity for variant discrimination, single-RNA-copy sensitivity and does not require RNA extraction, discriminated 12 lineages of SARS-CoV-2 (in three mutational hotspots of the Spike protein) and detected the virus in nasopharyngeal swabs from 1,034 individuals at 98.8% sensitivity and 100% specificity, with 97.6% concordance with genome sequencing in variant discrimination. We also report a compact, portable and fully automated device integrating the entire swab-to-result workflow and amenable to the point-of-care detection of SARS-CoV-2 variants. Portable, rapid, accurate and multiplexed assays for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 variants and lineages may facilitate variant-surveillance efforts.
