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

Although many potential applications in early clinical diagnosis have been proposed, the use of a surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRI) technique for non-invasive prenatal diagnostic approaches based on maternal blood analysis is confined. Here, we report a nanoparticle-enhanced SPRI strategy for a non-invasive prenatal fetal sex determination based on the detection of a Y-chromosome specific sequence (single-gene SRY) in cell-free fetal DNA from maternal plasma. The SPR assay proposed here allows for detection of male DNA in mixtures of 2.5 aM male and female genomic DNAs with no preliminary amplification of the DNA target sequence, thus establishing an analytical protocol that does not require costly, time-consuming, and prone to sample contamination PCR-based procedures. Afterward, the developed protocol was successfully applied to reveal male cell-free fetal DNA in the plasma of pregnant women at different gestational ages, including early gestational ages. This approach would pave the way for the establishment of faster and cost-effective non-invasive prenatal testing.
