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

Two subunits of the ternary troponin complex, I and C, have cardiac muscle specific isoforms, and hence could be applied as highly-selective markers of acute coronary syndrome. We aimed at paving the way for the development of a robust cardiac troponin I-detecting sandwich assay by replacing antibodies with nuclease resistant aptamer analogues, so-called spiegelmers. To complement the previously generated spiegelmers that were specific for the N-terminus of cTnI, spiegelmers were selected for an amino acid stretch in the proximity of the C-terminal part of the protein by using a D-amino acid composed peptide. Following the selection, the oligonucleotides were screened by filter binding assay, and surface plasmon resonance analysis of the most auspicious candidates demonstrated that this approach could provide spiegelmers with subnanomolar dissociation constant. To demonstrate if the selected spiegelmers are functional and suitable for cTnI detection in a sandwich type arrangement, AlphaLisa technology was leveraged and the obtained results demonstrated that spiegelmers with different epitope selectivity are suitable for specific detection of cTnI protein even in human plasma containing samples. These results suggest that spiegelmers could be considered in the development of the next generation cTnI monitoring assays.
