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

Conventional colorimetric enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a time-consuming laboratory assay that is not very sensitive and consumes a large amount of samples. Herein, the development of a reusable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/paper hybrid plug-and-play (PnP) device for high-sensitivity immunoassay by analyte enrichment and efficient passing-through washing has been reported. The PMMA device has multiple slots where a pre-patterned paper substrate can be inserted. The sample flows back-and-forth through a low-cost, 3D paper substrate within the PMMA channels, thereby enhancing the amount of analyte adsorbed and dramatically increasing the sensitivity while decreasing the assay time. After the enrichment assay, the paper substrate can simply be pulled out of the device, and the results can be qualitatively viewed with the naked eye or scanned through a simple desktop scanner for quantitative analysis. The paper substrate can be replaced with a new substrate so that the device can be reused. The limits of detection (LODs) of 200 pg/mL for immunoglobulin G (IgG) and 270 pg/mL for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) were obtained. This IgG assay is at least 10 times more sensitive than commercial ELISA kits. In addition, the PnP ELISA exhibited a significant increase in the linear dynamic range from 3 orders of magnitude in a common paper-based device to a wide range of six orders of magnitude in the PnP hybrid device. This reusable PnP device has great potential for the low-cost yet high-sensitivity detection of infectious diseases, cancers, and other important biomolecules.
