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

Our protocol outlines a DNA endonuclease-targeted CRISPR trans reporter (DETECTR) assay, which combines CRISPR/Cas12a technology with isothermal Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RPA) for the rapid and specific detection of phytoplasma diseases in plants. This isothermal method utilizes RPA to amplify the target DNA fragment from the genomic DNA of phytoplasmas, followed by incubation with Cas12a nuclease and CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs) specifically designed to target unique phytoplasma DNA sequences. Upon initial cleavage of the amplified target DNA, Cas12a gains enzymatic activity to indiscriminately cleave single-stranded fluorescent oligonucleotide reporters, generating a fluorescent signal for highly sensitive detection of the pathogen. The protocol provides detailed instructions on: (i) sample collection and preparation; (ii) assay reaction setup, including RPA and Cas12a detection steps; (iii) reaction and detection conditions; and (iv) guidelines for accurately interpreting fluorescence data to detect phytoplasma DNA. This protocol is designed for researchers and agricultural professionals to effectively adopt and implement this advanced diagnostic technique.
