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

One of the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the abnormal aggregation of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides. Therefore the detection of Aβ peptides and imaging of amyloid plaques are considered as promising diagnostic methods for AD. Here we report a bifunctional nanoprobe prepared by conjugating gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with Rose Bengal (RB) dye. RB is chosen due to its unique Raman fingerprints and affinity with Aβ peptides. After the conjugation, Raman signals of RB were significantly enhanced due to the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect. Upon binding with Aβ42 peptides, a spectrum change was detected, and the magnitude of the spectrum changes can be correlated with the concentration of target peptides. The peptide/probe interaction also induced a remarkable enhancement in the probes' fluorescence emission. This fluorescence enhancement was further utilized to image amyloid plaques in the brain slices from transgenic mice. In this study, the RB-AuNPs were used for both SERS-based detection of Aβ42 peptides and fluorescence-based imaging of amyloid plaques. Compared to monofunctional probes, the multifunctional probe is capable to provide more comprehensive pathophysiological information, and therefore, the implementation of such multifunctional amyloid probes is expected to help the investigation of amyloid aggregation and the early diagnosis of AD.
