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

Quantitative loop-mediated isothermal amplification (qLAMP) is a gene expression quantification method that has gained popularity in recent years, particularly in disease identification, including during the recent SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Unlike conventional quantitative PCR (qPCR), qLAMP features reaction kinetics that may diverge from sigmoidal expectation, and may not include ROX dye in commercial kits. Determining cycle threshold (Ct or Cq) values through automatic thresholding may therefore produce inaccurate results, and the nature of these thresholds complicates comparability between studies and softwares. We introduce a new method for transforming sigmoidal amplification curves into inflection cycle threshold curves (iCt) to address issues with auto thresholds and analysis of qLAMP. This method is implemented as a set of R functions named
