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

Nucleic acid circuits have shown promising potential for amplified detection of biomarkers with interest in biologically important engineering applications. In this work, by properly integrating two signal amplification approaches, catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) and hybridization chain reaction (HCR), a concatenated CHA-HCR system was established as an isothermal enzyme-free amplification strategy for highly sensitive and selective nucleic acid assay. The target catalyzes the self-assembly of CHA hairpin substrates into dsDNA products, where the split segments of HCR trigger are successively connected to drive the subsequent autonomous cross-opening of HCR hairpins, leading to the construction of HCR tandem copolymeric dsDNA nanowires. The resulting HCR copolymer brings a fluorophore donor/acceptor pair into close proximity that allows an efficient generation of FRET readout signal. Moreover, the optimized CHA-HCR circuit, upon the incorporation of an auxiliary sensing module, can be converted into a universal sensing platform for detecting cancerous biomarkers (
