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

Lateral flow assays, as a low-cost, simple, portable and disposable product of vitro diagnostic, are being widely used for point-of-care testing. However, the poor sensitivity of LFAs is the main challenge for commercialization. In order to enhance the sensitivity of LFAs, cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) have been integrated into LFAs to enhance the sensitivity of protein LFAs. A simple method is also presented to modify the properties of paper substrate by incorporating CNFs into a nitrocellulose membrane to enhance the sensitivity of nucleic acid LFAs. This method changes the pore size, porosity, surface groups and surface area of paper substrate and then increases the adsorption ability of biomolecules on paper substrate. The results indicate that the sensitivity of nucleic acid LFAs in Staphylococcus aureus testing achieves a 20-fold enhancement. Hence, we anticipate that this simple method has the potential for other paper-based devices to improve the performance. Graphical abstractA simple method is used to modify the properties of paper substrate by incorporating cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) into nitrocellulose (NC) membrane to enhance the sensitivity of nucleic acid LFAs.
