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

Development of novel aptamer sensor strategies for rapid and selective assays of protein biomarkers plays crucial roles in proteomics and clinical diagnostics. Herein, we have developed a novel aptamer sensor strategy for homogeneous detection of protein targets based on fluorescence protection assay. This strategy is based on our reasoning that interaction of aptamer with its protein target may dramatically increase steric hindrance, which protects the fluorophore, fluorescein isothiocyannate (FITC), labeled at the binding pocket from accessing and quenching by the FITC antibody. The aptamer sensor strategy is demonstrated using a model protein target of immunoglobulin E (IgE), a known biomarker associated with atopic allergic diseases. The results reveal that the aptamer sensor shows substantial (>6-fold) fluorescence enhancement in response to the protein target, thereby verifying the mechanism of fluorescence protection. Moreover, the aptamer sensor displays improved specificity to other co-existing proteins and a desirable dynamic range within the IgE concentration from 0.1 to 50 nM with a readily achieved detection limit of 0.1 nM. Because of great robustness, easy operation and scalability for parallel assays, the developed homogeneous fluorescence protection assay strategy might create a new methodology for developing aptamer sensors in sensitive, selective detection of proteins.
