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

This study investigates the performance of reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay for the colorimetric detection of SARS-CoV-2 using fluorometric dye, namely, calcein. The detection limit (LoD) with the N-ID1 primer set resulted in superior performance, corresponding to ~ 2 copies/reaction or ~ 0.1 copies/μL of the RNA sample. The color development can be observed by the naked eye, using an ultraviolet (UV) transilluminator or a hand-UV light without the requirement of expensive devices. The average time-to-reaction (TTR) value was 26.2 min in high-copy number samples, while it was about 50 min in rRT-PCR. A mobile application was proposed to quantify the positive and negative results based on the three-color spaces (RGB, Lab, and HSB). Compared to rRT-PCR (n = 67), this assay allows fast and sensitive visual detection of SARS-CoV-2, with high sensitivity (90.9%), selectivity (100%), and accuracy (94.03%). Besides, the assay was sensitive regardless of variants. Since this assay uses a fluorescent dye for visual observation, it can be easily adapted in RT-LAMP assays with high sensitivity. Thus, it can be utilized in low-source centers and field testing such as conferences, sports meetings, refugee camps, companies, and schools.
