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

Sensitive, inexpensive, and rapid protease activity assays are of great merit for clinical diagnostics. Detection of protease-based toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum and Bacillus anthracis represents a particularly challenging task, as exceptional sensitivity is a prerequisite because of the extreme potency of the toxins. Here we present an inexpensive and sensitive assay platform for activity-based protease quantification utilizing filamentous bacteriophage as an exponentially amplifiable reporter and its application to the detection of these bacterial toxins. The assay is based on specific cleavage of bacteriophage from a solid support and its subsequent quantification by means of infectivity or quantitative PCR. Detection of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) serotypes A and B and anthrax lethal factor in the picomolar range was demonstrated with a limit of detection of 2 pM for BoNT/A under optimized conditions.
