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 are presenting a rapid method for the determination of theophylline using unique non-crosslinking gold nanoparticle (AuNP) aggregation. An RNA aptamer against theophylline is firstly split into two RNA fragments which then interact with bare AuNPs. The two RNA probes cause an enhancement of the salt tolerance of AuNPs. However, in the presence of theophylline, the RNA probes form a complex with theophylline so that less RNA probes are available to protect the AuNPs from salt-induced aggregation. Theophylline induced aggregation of AuNPs is accompanied by a color change from red to blue. The color change can be detected visually and via UV-vis absorptiometry by ratioing the absorbances at 650 and 520 nm. The ratio increases linearly in the 0.1 to 20 μM theophylline concentration range, with a 67 nM limit of detection. The method is highly sensitive and selective. Graphical abstract Single-stranded split RNA aptamers (R1 and R2) protect gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) from salt-induced non-crosslinking aggregation. After recognition of theophylline by the RNA probe, the unprotected AuNPs aggregate and undergo a color change from red to blue, and this is used to quantify the theophylline concentration.
