Peptide mediated colorimetric detection of SARS-CoV-2 using gold nanoparticles: a molecular dynamics simulation study.
Article in Journal of molecular modeling, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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 outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has necessitated the development of a rapid, simple yet selective naked-eye detection methodology that does not require any advanced instrumental techniques. In this study, we report our computational findings on the detection of SARS-CoV-2 using peptide- functionalized gold nanoparticles (GNPs). The peptide has been screened from angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor situated on the surface of the host cell membrane which interacts with the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, resulting entry of the virus into the host cell. As a result, the peptide-functionalized GNPs possess excellent affinity towards the spikes of SARS-CoV-2 and readily get aggregated once exposed to SARS-CoV-2 antigen or virus. The stability of the peptides on the surface of GNPs and their interaction with the spike protein of the virus have been investigated using coarse-grained molecular dynamic simulations. The potential of mean force calculation of spike protein confirmed strong binding between peptide and receptor-binding domain (RBD) of spike protein. Our in silico results demonstrate the potential of the peptide-functionalized GNPs in the development of simple and rapid colorimetric biosensors for clinical diagnosis.
