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

Background: Accurate identification of closely related herbal species is essential for ensuring the safety, efficacy, and authenticity of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) products. Methods: We developed a nucleic acid detection platform that integrates multienzyme isothermal rapid amplification (MIRA) with CRISPR/Cas12a-based fluorescence or lateral flow assay (LFA) for the rapid discrimination of PG and PQ. By targeting highly divergent mitochondrial gene regions, we designed species-specific crRNAs that enabled precise identification of PG and PQ with high sensitivity and specificity. Results: By optimizing the conditions, the system can effectively distinguish PG and PQ, with a fluorescence detection limit of 10 Conclusion: This method offers a promising solution for point-of-care testing (POCT) in TCM quality control and provides a foundation for broader applications of CRISPR-based molecular authentication in herbal medicine.
