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

Lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) have wide application in point-of-care testing, particularly in resource-poor settings. To achieve signal amplification in a gold nanoparticle-based lateral flow assay without an additional procedure or the need for complex fabrication, a new and simple method was developed for using a "stacking pad" configuration that adds an additional membrane between the conjugation pad and test pad to the conventional AuNP-based LFIA format. This design helps to accumulate the antibody and antigen on the stacking pad, hence extending the antigen/antibody binding interactions to enhance the test's detection sensitivity. With the enhanced lateral flow assay, as low as 1 ng/mL of Protein A and 15.5 ng/mL of C-reactive protein can be visualized with the naked eye. We also successfully applied the stacking pad system in the analysis of C-reactive protein in human serum and synovial fluid samples. These results suggest that this stacking pad LFIA can provide sensitive and on-site prognosis for detection in synovial fluid and serum samples in resource-limited settings.
