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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have a prominent role in virtually every aspect of cell biology. Due to the small size of mature miRNAs, the high degree of similarity between miRNA family members, and the low abundance of miRNAs in body fluids, miRNA expression profiling is technically challenging. Biosensors based on electrochemical detection for nucleic acids are a novel category of inexpensive and very sensitive diagnostic tools. On the other hand, after recognizing the target sequence, specific CRISPR-associated proteins, including orthologues of Cas12, Cas13, and Cas14, exhibit collateral nonspecific catalytic activities that can be employed for specific and ultrasensitive nucleic acid detection from clinically relevant samples. Recently, several platforms have been developed, connecting the benefits of enzyme-assisted signal amplification and enzyme-free amplification biosensing technologies with CRISPR-based approaches for miRNA detection. Together, they provide high sensitivity, precision, and fewer limitations in diagnosis through efficient sensors at a low cost and a simple miniaturized readout. This review provides an overview of several CRISPR-based biosensing platforms that have been developed and successfully applied for ultrasensitive and specific miRNA detection.
