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

Cytokines play crucial roles in tumorigenesis and are potential biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. An Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) is commonly used to measure cytokines but has a low sensitivity and can only detect a single target at a time. CRISPR-Associated Proteins (Cas) can ultra-sensitively and specifically detect nucleic acids and is revolutionizing molecular diagnostics. Here, we design a microplate-based CRISPR-ELISA assay to simultaneously profile multiple cytokines, in which antibodies are coupled with ssDNA to form antibody-ssDNA complexes that bridges CRISPR/Cas12a and ELISA reactions. The ssDNA triggers the Cas12a collateral cleavage activity and releases the fluorescent reporters to generate amplified fluorescent signals in the ELISA detection of cytokines. The CRISPR-ELISA assay can simultaneously measure multiple cytokines with a significantly higher sensitivity compared with conventional ELISA. Using the CRISPR-ELISA assay to profile plasma cytokines in 127 lung cancer patients and 125 cancer-free smokers, we develop a panel of plasma cytokine biomarkers (IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10) for early detection of the disease, with 80.6% sensitivity and 82.0% specificity. The CRISPR-ELISA assay may provide a new approach to the discovery of cytokine biomarkers for early lung cancer detection.
