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

Many polypeptides and small proteins can be readily engineered such that they only fold upon binding a specific target ligand. This approach couples target recognition with a considerable change in polymer structure and dynamics. Recent years have seen the development of a number of biosensors that couple these large changes to readily measurable optical (fluorescent) outputs. These sensors afford the detection of a wide variety of macromolecular targets including proteins, polypeptides, and nucleic acids. Here we describe the design of such biosensors, from the first iterations as protein engineering experiments, to the development of biosensors targeting a range of protein and nucleic acid targets.
