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

The presence of approximately 200-bp cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the urine has attracted attention as a biomarker for liquid biopsy. However, it is currently useful only for diagnoses of cancers in which a large amount of cfDNA is excreted in the urine. Therefore, the development of an efficient method for extracting cfDNA existing in small amounts in the urine is essential for diagnosing many other diseases. We examined the effect of particle size, small pore size (surface area), and surface modification of porous silica particles on the efficiency of DNA extraction. Our observations suggested that cfDNA could be captured by tertiary amine-modified particles and then removed from the particles by repeatedly washing with sodium bicarbonate (pH 11). Using this method with 30 mg of triamine-modified particles, we succeeded in extracting a few hundred nanograms of cfDNA from 15 mL urine. Furthermore, we could detect ~ 67 fg/mL caries DNA (211 bp) in 15 mL urine sample, suggesting that this method may be suitable for the extraction of genetic biomarkers for cfDNA-based liquid biopsy.
