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 authors describe an aptamer based assay for the food mycotoxin ochratoxin A (OTA). It is based on the use of exonuclease III (Exo III) which assists in signal amplification, and of single-walled carbon nanohorns (SWCNHs) which act as quenchers of fluorescence. The detection scheme employs a hairpin probe (HP) and a signal probe (SP) labeled with carboxyfluorescein (FAM) at its 5'-end. The fluorescence of intact SPs (best measured at excitation/emission wavelengths of 495/518 nm) is quenched by SWCNHs. The HP contains the OTA-specific aptamer sequence and is partially complementary to the SP. After addition of OTA, the aptamer binds OTA and thus exposes a single-stranded sequence that can hybridize with the SP. Exo III digests the SP to liberate the free fluorophore labels. The damaged SPs no longer are adsorbed by the SWCNHs so that fluorescence is no longer quenched. The method has a detection range that is linear from 10 nM to 1000 nM (with a correlation coefficient of 0.997). The limit of detection (LOD), calculated on the basis of a signal to noise ratio of 3, is 4.2 nM. The procedure was validated by the quantitation of OTA in spiked real samples and were found to be free of interference by the sample matrix. Recoveries ranged from 93.8 to 113.0% in beer and from 92.0 to115.9% in red wine. Graphical abstract After adding ochratoxin A (OTA), the aptamer region in hairpin probe (HP) combined with OTA and thus exposed a single-stranded sequence to hybridize with signal probe (SP). Exonuclease III (Exo III) digested SP to liberate the free fluorophore (FAM).
