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

Photonic crystal (PC) materials have huge potentials as sensors for noninvasive and real-time monitoring glucose in tears. We developed a glucose-sensitive PC material based on monolayered colloidal crystals (MCCs). Polystyrene nanoparticles were first self-assembled into a highly ordered MCC, and this two-dimensional (2D) template was then coated by a 4-boronobenzaldehyde-functionalized poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel. Such a sensor efficiently diffracts visible light, whose structural color could change from red through yellow to green, as the glucose concentration altered from 0 to 20 mM, covering both tears' and bloods' physiological ranges. The sensor also represents a rapid response within 180 s at each titration of glucose, combining the characteristics of high accuracy and sensitivity in detecting the glucose concentration in tears, and this intelligent sensing material presents certain possibility for the frontier point-of-care glucose monitoring.
