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

Monitoring diseases caused by pathogens or by mutations in DNA sequences requires accurate, rapid, and sensitive tools to detect specific nucleic acid sequences. Here, we describe a new peptide nucleic acid (PNA)-based nucleic acid detection toolkit, termed PNA-powered diagnostics (PNA-Pdx). PNA-Pdx employs PNA probes that bind specifically to a target and are then detected in lateral flow assays. This can precisely detect a specific pathogen or genotype genomic sequence. PNA probes can also be designed to invade double-stranded DNAs (dsDNAs) to produce single-stranded DNAs for precise CRISPR-Cas12b-based detection of genomic SNPs without requiring the protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM), as Cas12b requires PAM sequences only for dsDNA targets. PNA-Pdx identified target nucleic acid sequences at concentrations as low as 2 copies/μL and precisely detected the SARS-CoV-2 genome in clinical samples in 40 min. Furthermore, the specific dsDNA invasion by the PNA coupled with CRISPR-Cas12b precisely detected genomic SNPs without PAM restriction. Overall, PNA-Pdx provides a novel toolkit for nucleic acid and SNP detection as well as highlights the benefits of engineering PNA probes for detecting nucleic acids.
