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

The spatiotemporal dynamics of specific mRNA molecules are difficult to image and detect inside living cells, and this has been a significant challenge for the chemical and biomedical communities. To solve this problem, we have developed a targeted, self-delivered, and photocontrolled aptamer-based molecular beacon (MB) for intracellular mRNA analysis. An internalizing aptamer connected via a double-stranded DNA structure was used as a carrier probe (CP) for cell-specific delivery of the MB designed to signal target mRNA. A light activation strategy was employed by inserting two photolabile groups in the CP sequence, enabling control over the MB's intracellular function. After the probe was guided to the target cell via specific binding of aptamer AS1411 to nucleolin on the cell membrane, light illumination released the MB for mRNA monitoring. Consequently, the MB is able to perform live-cell mRNA imaging with precise spatiotemporal control, while the CP acts as both a tracer for intracellular distribution of the MB before photoinitiation and an internal reference for mRNA ratiometric detection.
