ANCA: artificial nucleic acid circuit with argonaute protein for one-step isothermal detection of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Article in Nature communications, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Endonucleases have recently widely used in molecular diagnostics. Here, we report a strategy to exploit the properties of Argonaute (Ago) proteins for molecular diagnostics by introducing an artificial nucleic acid circuit with Ago protein (ANCA) method. The ANCA is designed to perform a continuous autocatalytic reaction through cross-catalytic cleavage of the Ago protein, enabling one-step, amplification-free, and isothermal DNA detection. Using the ANCA method, carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (CPKP) are successfully detected without DNA extraction and amplification steps. In addition, we demonstrate the detection of carbapenem-resistant bacteria in human urine and blood samples using the method. We also demonstrate the direct identification of CPKP swabbed from surfaces using the ANCA method in conjunction with a three-dimensional nanopillar structure. Finally, the ANCA method is applied to detect CPKP in rectal swab specimens from infected patients, achieving sensitivity and specificity of 100% and 100%, respectively. The developed method can contribute to simple, rapid and accurate diagnosis of CPKP, which can help prevent nosocomial infections.
