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

In this paper, we investigate the use of dielectrophoresis to align germanium nanowire arrays to realize nanowire-based diodes and their subsequent use for bio-sensing. After establishing that dielectrophoresis is a controllable and repeatable fabrication method to create devices from germanium nanowires, we use the optimum process conditions to form a series of diodes. These are subsequently functionalized with an aptamer, which is able to bind specifically to the spike protein of SARS-Cov2 and investigated as a potential sensor. We observe a linear increase in the source to drain current as the concentration of spike protein is increased from 100 fM/L to 1 nM/L.
