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

Enterovirus G (EV-G) strains carrying the papain-like cysteine protease (PLCP) gene insertion have recently emerged as important pathogens associated with diarrhea in weaned piglets. Herein, a single-tube reverse transcription-enzymatic recombinase amplification coupled with CRISPR/Cas12a (RT-ERA-CRISPR/Cas12a) dual-readout assay was established to concurrently detect pan-EV-G via conserved RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 3D-encoding gene and screen pathogenic PLCP-carrying recombinant strains. After systematic optimization of primer-probe set and reaction parameters, the analytical and clinical performances of the established assay were evaluated. The assay exhibited no cross-reaction with other common porcine diarrhea-associated viruses or closely related members of the Picornaviridae family. Its limits of detection reached 5.19 copies·µL⁻¹ for the 3D-encoding gene and 5.51 copies·µL⁻¹ for the PLCP gene, demonstrating superior sensitivity compared with conventional RT-PCR, RT-qPCR, RPA, and LAMP assays. Testing 96 field fecal samples yielded almost perfect agreement with RT-qPCR (κ = 0.95, concordance = 97.92%) and moderate consistency with conventional RT-PCR (κ = 0.68, concordance = 87.88%), respectively. Unlike multiplex CRISPR-Cas12a platforms that suffer from reporters' interference from Cas12a non-specific cleavage and dual nfo-probe systems prone to oligonucleotide dimerization, this work implemented separated visual readouts: nfo-probe lateral flow strips for 3D-encoding gene amplicons and Cas12a collateral cleavage for PLCP gene amplification products. An 85 ℃ heating step neutralized endonuclease Ⅳ to remove potential CRISPR signal inhibition, realizing unified single-tube detection. This assay is rapid, cost-efficient, and features high specificity and sensitivity. It offers a practical on-farm surveillance tool for virulent PLCP-recombinant EV-G, facilitating prevention and control of swine diarrheal diseases and safeguarding pork production safety.
