Confirmatory Real-Time PCR Assay for Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Type 52 Infection in Anogenital Specimens Screened for HPV Infection with the Linear Array HPV Genotyping Test
Open accessAbstract
A novel real-time PCR assay for detection of human papillomavirus type 52 (HPV-52) DNA (RT-52) was evaluated on 265 anogenital samples. RT-52 had a sensitivity of 98.4% and a specificity of 100% compared to conventional HPV-52 typing assays, including hybridization of PGMY products with an HPV-52-specific probe and PCR sequencing of HPV-52 E6.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
Defrosting samples does not significantly impact the sensitivity of the assays.
“However, it is worth mentioning that this does not significantly impact the sensitivity of the assays [34, 35].”
From Comparative evaluation of HPV genotyping: A study on the performance concordance between Anyplex II HPV28 detection and Linear Array genotyping tests in nationwide studies in Brazil (2024) · cites this paper as [35]
The Clinical specimens and Performance of RT-52 passages (indexed as Abstract; page unavailable) describe sample processing and assay sensitivity, but do not compare sensitivity before and after defrosting. Searches for freeze–thaw and thawed specimens found no passage addressing that effect. (LLM, conf=0.75)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
