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

Detection of RNA targets is typically achieved through RT-qPCR or RNAseq. RT-qPCR is rapid but limited in number and complexity of targets detected, while RNAseq is high-throughput but takes multiple days. We demonstrate simultaneous amplification and detection of 28 distinct RNA targets from a single unsplit purified RNA sample in under 40 minutes using our convective array PCR (caPCR) technology. We integrate tunable strand displacement probes into caPCR to allow detection of RNA species with programmable sequence selectivity for either a single, perfectly matched target sequence or for targets with up to 2 single-nucleotide variants within the probe-binding regions. Tunable probes allow for robust detection of desired RNA species against high homology background sequences and robust detection of RNA species with significant sequence diversity due to community-acquired mutations. As a proof-of-concept, we experimentally demonstrated detection of 7 human coronaviruses and 7 key variants of concern of SARS-CoV-2 in a single assay.
