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 prostate specific antigen (PSA), a serine protease with chymotrypsin-like activity, is predominantly expressed in the prostate and is considered as the most common marker in use to identify and follow the progress of prostate cancer. In addition, it is also now accepted as a marker for detecting semen in criminal cases. Here, we describe the design, synthesis, and evaluation of the first chemiluminescence probe for detection of PSA enzymatic activity. The probe activation mechanism is based on a catalytic cleavage of a specific peptidyl substrate, followed by a release of a phenoxy-dioxetane luminophore, that then undergoes efficient chemiexcitation to emit a green photon. The probe exhibits a significant turn-on response upon reaction with PSA and produces strong light emission signal with an extremely high signal-to-noise ratio. Comparison of the chemiluminescence probe with an analogous fluorescence probe showed superior detection capability in terms of response time and sensitivity. In addition, the probe was able to efficiently detect and image human semen traces on fabric, even after 3 days from sample preparation. The advantageous sensitivity and simplicity of a chemiluminescence assay to detect seminal fluid was effectively demonstrated by on-site measurements using a small portable luminometer. It is expected that the new chemiluminescence probe would be broadly useful for numerous applications in which PSA detection or imaging is required.
