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

The ubiquitous nitrite is a major analyte in the management of human health and environmental risks. The current analytical methods are complex techniques that do not fulfil the need for simple, robust and low-cost tools for on-site monitoring. Electrochemical reductase-based biosensors are presented as a powerful alternative, due to their good analytical performance and miniaturization potential. However, their real-world application is limited by the need of anoxic working conditions, and the standard oxygen removal strategies are incompatible with point-of-care measurements. Instead, a bienzymatic oxygen scavenger system comprising glucose oxidase and catalase can be used to promote anoxic conditions in aired environments. Herein, carbon screen-printed electrodes were modified with cytochrome c nitrite reductase together with glucose oxidase and catalase, so that nitrite cathodic detection could be performed by cyclic voltammetry under ambient air. The resulting biosensor displayed good linear response to the analyte (2-200 µM, sensitivity of 326 ± 5 mA M
