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

Avian influenza viruses (AIVs) are zoonotic pathogens that pose an increasing global threat due to their potential for significant economic losses in agriculture, and the risk of a pandemic should human-to-human transmission occur. In light of this, we need rapid, sensitive, and specific tests to detect and differentiate circulating AIVs. Current AIV diagnostic methods require specialized laboratory equipment, limiting their use in the field and in low-resource settings. Here, we develop three CRISPR-based Streamlined Highlighting of Infections to Navigate Epidemics (SHINE) assays that address these limitations. We designed, optimized, and validated a SHINE assay for H5 AIV, achieving 100% specificity when tested on seasonal-influenza-positive clinical samples, and a limit of detection of 121.7 copies/μL. We also developed SHINE assays targeting the 2.3.4.4b A(H5N1) and Eurasian H7 lineages. Together, these SHINE assays offer a promising platform for AIV diagnosis and surveillance, particularly outside laboratory settings.
