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 a dual (colorimetric and fluorometric) detection scheme for microRNA. The method is based on the use of fluorescent DNA-modified silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The DNA-AgNCs were linked to AuNPs via the interaction of ssDNA-AgNC probes with AuNPs. This led to quenching of the fluorescence of the DNA-AgNCs (best measured at excitation/emission peaks of 370/450 nm) and also prevents salt-induced aggregation of the AuNPs. Upon addition of microRNA, the DNA on the AgNCs hybridizes with microRNA. This led to the formation of a DNA-AgNC/miRNA hetero-duplex and increase of the distance to the AuNPs. Quenching was suppressed and fluorescence was restored. The presence of microRNA also affected salt-induced particle aggregation as reflected by a color change from red to purple that is visible with bare eyes. The visual detection limit for microRNA is 0.6 nM, and the fluorometric detection limit is 0.4 pM. Graphical abstract Schematic of the colorimetric and fluorometric assay for microRNA (miRNA). It is based on the use of fluorescent DNA-modified silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs).
