SARS-CoV-2 spike protein detection using slightly tapered no-core fiber-based optical transducer.
Article in Mikrochimica acta, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 label-free detection of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is demonstrated by using slightly tapered no-core fiber (ST-NCF) functionalized with ACE2. In the fabricated sensor head, abrupt changes in the mode-field diameter at the interfaces between single-mode fiber and no-core fiber excite multi-guided modes and facilitate multi-mode interference (MMI). Its slightly tapered region causes the MMI to be more sensitive to the refractive index (RI) modulation of the surrounding medium. The transmission minimum of the MMI spectrum was selected as a sensor indicator. The sensor surface was functionalized with ACE2 bioreceptors through the pretreatment process. The ACE2-immobilized ST-NCF sensor head was exposed to the samples of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein with concentrations ranging from 1 to 10
