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

Multiple respiratory viruses can concurrently or sequentially infect the respiratory tract, making their identification crucial for diagnosis, treatment, and disease management. We present a label-free diagnostic platform integrating surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with deep learning for rapid, quantitative detection of respiratory virus coinfections. Using sensitive silica-coated silver nanorod array substrates, over 1.2 million SERS spectra are collected from 11 viruses, nine two-virus mixtures, and four three-virus mixtures at various concentrations in saliva. A deep learning model, MultiplexCR, is developed to simultaneously predict virus species and concentrations from SERS spectra. It achieves an impressive 98.6% accuracy in classifying virus coinfections and a mean absolute error of 0.028 for concentration regression. In blind tests, the model demonstrates consistent high accuracy and precise concentration predictions. This SERS-MultiplexCR platform completes the entire detection process in just 15 min, offering significant potential for rapid, point-of-care diagnostics in infection detection, as well as applications in food safety and environmental monitoring.
