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

An innovative signal amplification strategy assisted by RNase H is described here for the detection of DNA targets in a universal fashion. A tailor-made RNA molecular beacon (RMB) conjugated with a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) pair (fluorophore and quencher) was designed, characterized, and combined with the employment of RNase H. Its performance is compared to that of other nucleases including Exonuclease III and T7 exonuclease. Fluorometry, performed best at excitation/emission wavelengths of 490/520 nm, gives an amazingly low detection limit of 23 fM for target DNA. The method was verified by the determination of human hemochromatosis (HFE) gene. It is perceived that the method represents a versatile tool for the detection of a wide range of targets. Graphical Abstract An RNase H-assisted signal amplification (RASA) method for the fluorometric assay of nucleic acids has been developed by using a unique RNA molecular beacon (RNA MB) conjugated with a fluorophore (F) and quencher (Q) pair for signal generation.
