Development of loop mediated isothermal amplification assay for rapid detection and its comparison with PCR techniques for Ancylostoma duodenale.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Hookworm infections, primarily affecting children and pregnant women are major health concern. As part of global efforts to eradicate neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) through mass chemotherapy, reliable diagnostic methods are urgently needed as regions work towards elimination. In this study, we have developed a LAMP-based method to detect hookworm infection in faecal samples. The primers, tailored for the LAMP assay, were designed targeting ITS-1 region of Ancylostoma duodenale using Primer Explorer version 5. Five hundred (500) human stool samples were subjected to microscopy and DNA extraction simultaneously, followed by conventional PCR, real-time PCR and LAMP amplification. The specificity, sensitivity and inter-rater agreement of all assays were evaluated using MedCalc software taking real-time PCR as gold standard. The newly devised LAMP method successfully identified A. duodenale DNA in fecal samples in less than 40 min. It demonstrated perfect specificity (100%), with no instances of cross-reactivity. The LAMP assay achieved a sensitivity of 87.8%, 83.7% for conventional PCR and 59% for microscopy with 100% specificity for all methods. The newly developed LAMP assay represents a suitable diagnostic approach for identifying A. duodenale DNA in human stool samples due to its simplicity, affordability, sensitivity, specificity and potential for field applicability.
