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

backgroundRespiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human rhinovirus (HRV) are leading causes of respiratory infections in children, with increasing reports of coinfections leading to severe complications. Current CRISPR-based detection systems, such as Cas12a and Cas13a, are limited in multiplex detection due to the lack of specific reporter cleavage mechanisms. This study aims to develop a rapid, sensitive, and single-tube dual-gene detection method for RSV and HRV using the orthogonal trans-cleavage activities of CRISPR-Cas12a/13a combined with reverse transcription-recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA).

methodsWe designed a novel detection system leveraging RT-RPA for amplification and the distinct cleavage activities of Cas12a and Cas13a for simultaneous dual-gene detection.

resultsThe reaction components were optimized to complete detection within 30 min, achieving sensitivities of 10 copies/µL for RSV and 10

conclusionsThe RT-RPA-CRISPR-Cas12a/13a system provides a rapid, sensitive, and efficient solution for RSV and HRV coinfection detection. This method supports early diagnosis and improved clinical management, offering significant potential for public health applications in preventing severe respiratory complications in children.
