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

We report application of lanthanide nanoparticles for DNA quantification in a microarray platform as a substitute for conventional organic fluorophores. A non-PCR based DNA microarray assay for quantifying bacteria capable of biodegrading methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) was demonstrated. Probe DNA was immobilized on a glass surface, hybridized with biotinylated target DNA and subsequently incubated with Neutravidin-biofunctionalized nanoparticles. The fluorescence spot intensities, measured by a commercial laser scanner, show a linear relationship (R2 = 0.98) with bacterial 16S rDNA over a range of target DNA concentrations, while the background fluorescence remained low. In addition, nanoparticles fluorescence shows a stronger intensity than Quasar570 (Cy3). Present sensitivity of the assay is 10 pM of target DNA. The selectivity of the DNA-nanoparticle-probes to discriminate a non-target DNA with two base pairs mismatch in the 16S rDNA gene sequence was shown. The use of Eu:Gd2O3 nanoparticles as biolabels provides a relatively non-toxic, inexpensive, rapid and sensitive alternative to the materials currently used in DNA microarrays.
