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

A fluorogenic aptamer can specifically interact with a fluorophore to activate its fluorescence. These nucleic acid-based fluorogenic modules have been dramatically developed over the past decade, and have been used as versatile reporters in the sensor development and for intracellular imaging. In this review, we summarize the design principles, applications, and challenges of the first-generation fluorogenic RNA-based sensors. Moreover, we discuss some strategies to develop next-generation biosensors with improved sensitivity, selectivity, quantification property, and eukaryotic robustness. Using genetically encoded catalytic hairpin assembly strategy as an example, we further introduce a standard protocol to design, characterize, and apply these fluorogenic RNA-based sensors for in vitro detection and cellular imaging of target biomolecules. By incorporating natural RNA machineries, nucleic acid nanotechnology, and systematic evolution approaches, next-generation fluorogenic RNA-based devices can be potentially engineered to be widely applied in cell biology and biomedicine.
