1. The video is linked in the article.

2. The linked PDF is just a generic presentation about COVID-19 testing.

I believe the 6th and last slides are the result of their own testing and experiments.

I think you have to watch the video to understand why he is going through other published results on that virus. I understand he is pushing the idea that instead of telling people who feel sick to self isolate and only call a hospital (and get tested) if they have respiratory problems, to instead test them early, and if the are positive, provide them with anti-viral treatments. That way the patient is contagious for less than a week instead of 3 weeks on average.

If so, that's about as far away from reporting the results of a successful clinical trial as you can get.

The article is fake.
