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

Co-infection with both hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis D virus (HDV) can aggravate the severity of the end-stage liver disease and accelerate its progression. However, no combined diagnostic method for HDV and HBV nucleic acids exists. In this study, we have developed a highly sensitive and specific dual detection method for HDV RNA and HBV DNA using the CRISPR-Cas system. We established a dual detection method combining CRISPR-Cas12a with recombinase polymerase amplification (RAA) for HBV, and CRISPR-Cas13a with RT-RAA for HDV. Validation was performed using specimens from 70 co-infected patients. RAA primers and crRNAs were designed and optimized to establish a dual fluorescence detection method (DF) and lateral flow strip-based dual detection (DL) within the same CRISPR-Cas13a/Cas12a system for HDV RNA and HBV DNA. The system demonstrated 100% specificity, and both DF and DL methods exhibited a sensitivity of 10 copies/μL for synthetic positive plasmids and samples. Peak fluorescence detection was achieved with T7 RNA polymerase, while the best detection efficiency was at ssRNA: ssDNA ratio of 1:1.5. In the validation of plasma samples from 70 co-infected clinical patients, the positive concordance rates for RT-RAA-CRISPR-Cas13a/Cas12a DF and DL were 85.7% (60/70) and 82.9% (58/70), respectively. We developed a CRISPR-Cas13a/Cas12a-based dual assay for sensitive, specific, and accurate detection of HDV RNA and HBV DNA, offering an effective tool for the early detection, treatment, and monitoring of HDV and HBV infections.
