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

DNA methylation is a significant epigenetic mechanism involving processes of transferring a methyl group onto cytosine or adenine. Such DNA modification catalyzed by methyltransferase (MTase) plays important roles in the modulation of gene expression and other cellular activities. Herein, we develop a simple and sensitive biosensing platform for the detection of DNA MTase activity by using only two oligonucleotides. The fluorophore labeled molecular beacon (MB) can be methylated by MTase and subsequently cleaved by endonuclease DpnI at the stem, giving a shortened MB. The shortened MB can then hybridize with a primer DNA, initiating a cycle of strand displacement amplification (SDA) reactions. The obtained SDA products can unfold new MB and initiate another cycle of SDA reaction. Therefore, continuous enlargement of SDA and exponential amplification of the fluorescence signal are achieved. Because the triple functions of substrate, template and probe are elegantly integrated in one oligonucleotide, only two oligonucleotides are necessary for multiple amplification cycles, which not only reduces the complexity of the system, but also overcomes the laborious and cumbersome operation that is always a challenge in conventional methods. This platform exhibits an extremely low limit of detection of 3.3 × 10
