A Review on Electrochemical Sensors and Biosensors Used in Phenylalanine Electroanalysis.
Review in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
Phenylalanine is an amino acid found in breast milk and in many foods, being an essential nutrient. This amino acid is very important for the human body because it is transformed into tyrosine and, subsequently, into catecholamine neurotransmitters. However, there are individuals who were born with a genetic disorder called phenylketonuria. The accumulation of phenylalanine and of some metabolites in the body is dangerous and may cause convulsions, brain damage and mental retardation. Determining the concentration of phenylalanine in different biologic fluids is very important because it can provide information about the health status of the individuals envisaged. Since such determinations may be made by using electrochemical sensors and biosensors, numerous researchers have developed such sensors for phenylalanine detection and different sensitive materials were used in order to improve the selectivity, sensitivity and detection limit. The present review aims at presenting the design and performance of some electrochemical bio (sensors) traditionally used for phenylalanine detection as reported in a series of relevant scientific papers published in the last decade.
