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 method is described for the determination of microRNAs via two-stage signal enhancement. This is attained by combining hairpin (HP) assisted cascade isothermal amplification with light-up DNA-Ag nanoclusters. A rationally designed dual-functional HP is used, and microRNA-21 is chosen as a model analyte. At the first stage, upon the hybridization of the microRNA-21 with HP, microRNA recycling via polymerase-displacement reaction and a circulative nicking-replication process are achieved. This generates numerous G-abundant overhang DNA sequences. In the second stage, the above-released G-abundant overhang DNA sequences hybridize with the dark green Ag NCs, and this results in the appearance of bright red fluorescence. Thanks to the two signal enhancement processes, a linear dependence between the fluorescence intensity at 616 nm and the concentration of microRNA-21 is obtained in the range from 1 pM to 20 pM with a detection limit of 0.7 pM. The strategy clearly discriminates between perfectly-matched and mismatched targets. The method was applied to the determination of microRNA-21 in a spiked serum sample. Graphical abstractSchematic representation of microRNA detection by integrating hairpin assisted cascade isothermal amplification with light-up DNA Ag nanoclusters. With microRNA, G-abundant overhang DNA sequences from amplification reaction hybridize with dark green Ag nanoclusters to produce a concentration-dependent bright red fluorescence.
