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

This study was carried out to develop a simple and efficient method to isolate DNA directly from biological samples using iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) functionalized with polyethyleneimine (PEI). IONPs were synthesized via co-precipitation method followed with direct attachment of branched PEI. Nanoparticles were characterized using STEM, FT-IR spectroscopy and XRD analysis. The binding capacity of synthesized PEI-IONPs for plasmid and genomic DNA was assessed using purified DNA samples. In order to elute bound DNA, elution conditions were optimized, changing pH, salt concentration and temperature. Synthesized PEI-IONPs were subjected to isolation of DNA from bacterial cell culture and from human blood. PCR and magnetofection of the enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP) were carried out to verify the downstream applications of isolated DNA. The results indicated that the synthesized nanoparticles were of 5-10 nm. The binding capacity of PEI-IONPs for plasmid DNA and genomic DNA were 5.4 and 8.4 µg mg
