A rapid antigen test to detect adenosine deaminase 2 (ADA2) in biological fluids and its application in clinical diagnostics.

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.
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
Introduction: Saliva biomarkers provide a convenient and noninvasive method for diagnosing immune and genetic disorders. One such biomarker is adenosine deaminase 2 (ADA2), an enzyme that converts adenosine into inosine and is elevated in cancer and immune diseases. Currently, ADA2 activity can be used to diagnose pleural tuberculosis. Recently, we developed an ELISA assay that detects ADA2 in saliva. This test has been successfully employed to diagnose adenosine deaminase 2 deficiency (DADA2) and potentially to identify individuals with head and neck cancer. DADA2 is a rare genetic disease that can lead to systemic vasculitis, early onset stroke, bone marrow failure, and/or immunodeficiency. A rapid, simple, and affordable point-of-care (POC) test would significantly aid in diagnosing DADA2 and facilitate appropriate treatment. Methods: In this study, we created a novel colloidal gold-based immunochromatographic strip (ICS) containing polyclonal antigen-purified anti-ADA2 antibodies. The ADA2 rapid antigen test (RAT) was calibrated precisely to detect ADA2 in the saliva of healthy individuals, while those with ADA2 deficiency received negative results. Results: The test successfully confirmed DADA2 in nine patients with different pathogenic mutations in ADA2, while 58 of 59 healthy donors tested positive for ADA2. Discussion: The ADA2 rapid antigen test reliably screens patients with autoimmune disorders, accurately diagnosing DADA2. This test can also be used to diagnose pleural tuberculosis or other diseases with significantly elevated ADA2 levels.
