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

We report a straightforward and reproducible electrochemical approach to develop polydopamine-ethanolamine (ePDA-ETA) films to be used as immunosensing interfaces. ETA is strongly attached to polydopamine films during the potentiodynamic electropolymerization of dopamine. The great advantage of the electrochemical methods is to generate the oxidized species (quinones), which can readily react with ETA amine groups present in solution, with the subsequent incorporation of this molecule in the polymer. The presence of ETA and its effect on the electrosynthesis of polydopamine was accessed by cyclic voltammetry, ellipsometry, atomic force microscopy, FTIR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The adhesive and biocompatible films enable a facile protein linkage, are resilient to flow assays, and display intrinsic anti-fouling properties to block non-specific protein interactions, as monitored by real-time surface plasmon resonance, and confirmed by ellipsometry. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and Anti-IgG were used in this work as model proteins for the affinity sensor. By using the one-step methodology (ePDA-ETA), the lower amount of immobilized biorecognition element, IgG, compared to that deposited on ePDA or on ETA post-modified film (ePDA/ETA), allied to the presence of ETA, improved the antibody-antigen affinity interaction. The great potential of the developed platform is its versatility to be used with any target biorecognition molecules, allowing both optical and electrochemical detection.
