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

Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), claimed millions globally. After the report of the first incidence of the virus, variants emerged with each posing a unique threat than its predecessors. Though many advanced diagnostic assays like real-time PCR are available for screening of SARS-CoV-2, their applications are being hindered because of accessibility and cost. With the advent of rapid assays for antigenic screening of SARS-CoV-2 made diagnostics far easy as the assays are rapid, cost-effective and can be used at point-of-care settings. In the present study, a fusion construct was made utilising highly immunogenic B cell epitopes from the three important structural proteins of SARS-CoV-2. The protein was expressed; purified capture mAbs generated and rapid antigen assay was developed. Eight hundred and forty nasopharyngeal swab samples were screened for the evaluation of the developed assay which showed 37.14% positivity, 96.51% and 100% sensitivity and specificity respectively. The assay developed was supposed to identify SARS-CoV-2 wild-type as well as variants of concern and variants of importance in real-time conditions.
