SARS-CoV-2 Virus Detection Via a Polymeric Nanochannel-Based Electrochemical Biosensor.
Article in Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany), 2023. 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 development of simple, cost-effective, rapid, and quantitative diagnostic tools remains critical to monitor infectious COVID-19 disease. Although numerous diagnostic platforms, including rapid antigen tests, are developed and used, they suffer from limited accuracy, especially when tested with asymptomatic patients. Here, a unique approach to fabricate a nanochannel-based electrochemical biosensor that can detect the entire virion instead of virus fragments, is demonstrated. The sensing platform has uniform nanoscale channels created by the convective assembly of polystyrene (PS) beads on gold electrodes. The PS beads are then functionalized with bioreceptors while the gold surface is endowed with anti-fouling properties. When added to the biosensor, SARS-CoV-2 virus particles block the nanochannels by specific binding to the bioreceptors. The nanochannel blockage hinders the diffusion of a redox probe; and thus, allows quantification of the viral load by measuring the changes in the oxidation current before and after virus incubation. The biosensor shows a low limit of detection of ≈1.0 viral particle mL
