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

A highly sensitive fluorometric method is described for the determination of let-7a microRNA. It is based on the use of target-triggered cascade signal amplification that involves the use of (a) catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA), (b) exonuclease-assisted signal amplification (EASA), and (c) DNA-templated fluorescent silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) having excitation/emission maxima at 535/616 nm. The CHA reaction is initiated by the hybridization of the microRNA with hairpin probe HP1. The opening of HP1 results in the assembly of HP1 and another hairpin probe (HP2) to form a duplex. This releases the microRNA that which initiates another CHA reaction. The HP1-HP2 duplex binds to hairpin probe HP3 to form a stable Y-shaped junction structure HP2-HP1-HP3. The Y-shaped junction structure is cleaved by λ exonuclease to recycle the HP1-HP2 duplex to initiate the EASA reaction. This generates a large number of single-stranded reporter sequences. These act as scaffolds for the synthesis of fluorescent AgNCs by reduction of Ag (I) ions. A remarkably amplified fluorescent signal is observed whose intensity increases linearly in the 1 fM to 10 nM let-7a microRNA concentration range. The detection limit is 0.89 fM. The method can well discriminate let-7a microRNA from other microRNAs of the same family. Graphical Abstract Schematic representation of a fluorometric method based on target-triggered cascade signal amplification and DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) for sensitive detection of microRNA (miRNA).
