The Shift to Over-the-Counter Diagnostic Testing After RADx: Clinical, Regulatory, and Societal Implications.
Article in IEEE open journal of engineering in medicine and biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The National Institutes of Health's Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) program answered the call to accelerate the development of point-of-care (POC) and over-the-counter (OTC) COVID-19 tests. The widespread availability and access to self-tests has increased the public's familiarity and acceptance of at-home diagnostics. This paper examines the current state of OTC diagnostic testing, discusses potential applications of OTC testing, and highlights the implications of widespread OTC testing for clinical medicine.
