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

Thioflavin T (ThT) is a classical fluorescent dye gaining prominence in current research regarding nucleic acid conformations (NACs). However, most NACs with the ability to excite ThT fluorescent are unique or form in demanding conditions, limiting the extensiveness and depth of ThT application in sensing and imaging. Therefore, this study proposed CGG-AAA mismatched cavity hairpin ThT-light nucleic acid switches (CHTLNAS) with excellent fluorescence excitation over 500-fold higher than spontaneous, 17∼20-fold higher than ssDNA and 2.5∼5-fold higher than complementary duplex. Based on the excellent fluorescence excitation, convenient conformation formation, good sequence programmability, and flexible allosteric ability (known as the Worm-crack pod mechanism mediated by the target), it achieved the label- and enzyme-free detection of tetracycline (TET) and berberine (BB) at the pM level within 10 min. Moreover, it was found enable to realize the sensitive tracking of intracellular carriers at the nM level of ThT entry concentration, and prolongated its cell nuclear-entry time of ThT over 8 h, overcoming the non-specific high background signal interference of ThT in the nuclear region, and expanding the diversified application of ThT in cell biology research. Therefore, CHTLNAS is a more universal, practical tool than G-quadruplex or other kinds of NACs for ThT development and utilization in sensing and imaging platforms.
