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

The aim of this study was to develop a method based on multiple cross displacement amplification (MCDA) and real-time fluorescence technique for rapid, highly sensitive and specific detection of Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus, GAS). A set of 10 primers targeting the speB gene of GAS was designed for the MCDA reaction. According to the principle of real-time MCDA detection, the core primer was further modified with a restriction endonuclease recognition sequence, a fluorophore, and a quencher. The optimal reaction temperature for the assay was determined based on the performance of the MCDA amplification products. The detection limit was evaluated using tenfold serial dilutions of GAS genomic DNA templates. To assess specificity, the assay was tested using genomic DNA from 3 GAS strains and 29 non-GAS strains. To evaluate clinical application of the GAS real-time MCDA assay, 56 clinical samples were analyzed and compared with the lateral flow biosensors (LFB) method and PCR. The GAS real-time MCDA method was performed using a fluorescence instrument at 63℃ for 40 min. The method demonstrated high sensitivity, with a detection limit of 50 fg, and showed no cross-reactivity with other pathogens. The GAS real-time MCDA assay described here offers a new and valuable diagnostic tool for the reliable and rapid detection of GAS.
