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 epidemic of infectious diseases, such as influenza A, has imposed a severe health burden on the population. Early detection, diagnosis, reporting, isolation, and treatment are crucial for the prevention, control, and management of infectious diseases. Nucleic acid testing represents a vital approach for the rapid diagnosis of pathogenic microorganism types. However, current nucleic acid detection methods face notable bottlenecks: traditional CRISPR fluorescence assays require time-consuming pre-amplification of target nucleic acids, while existing carbon-nanotube field-effect transistor (FET)-based platforms, though amplification-free, often necessitate complex chip surface modification and probe immobilization, and suffer from non-reusable chips, all limiting their utility in point-of-care testing (POCT) and large-scale screening. This study reports a CRISPR-based amplification-free RNA detection platform (CRISPR-FET) for the rapid identification of influenza A virus. The CRISPR-FET platform described herein enables the detection of viral RNA without amplification within 20 min, with a limit of detection as low as 1 copy/μL. Secondly, a reporter RNA conjugated with gold particles is used to achieve signal amplification in FET detection; meanwhile, the method eliminates probe immobilization, thereby omitting this step and simplifying chip modification to reduce complex work-flows and pre-treatment costs. The chip's reusability further enhances cost-effectiveness. Additionally, streptavidin-modified magnetic bead adsorption minimizes background errors from excessive reporter RNA and non-target nucleic acids. Finally, validation with 24 clinical samples confirmed the platform's efficacy. By integrating rapidity, simplicity, and high sensitivity, alongside cost advantages from reusable chips, this CRISPR-FET platform meets the critical need for early influenza A diagnosis and holds promise for advancing POCT and large-scale epidemiological screening.
