Validation of an electrochemical sensor based on gold nanoparticles as a point-of-care test for quantitative determination of glycated hemoglobin.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Monitoring the level of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) has become the gold standard measure for diabetes mellitus (DM) diagnosis and control, used in conjunction with fasting blood glucose (FBG) and oral glucose tolerance test. This study aimed to investigate the applicability of a newly developed nanoparticle-based electrochemical sensor-multiwalled nanotubes incorporated with gold nanoparticles (POCT-HbA1cMWCNTs/AuNPs)-used as a routine point-of-care test (POCT) for detection of HbA1c for the diagnosis of DM. Finger-prick and venous blood samples were collected from 108 DM and 98 non-DM subjects to determine HbA1c and total hemoglobin by POCT-HbA1cMWCNTs/AuNPs compared with the standard HPLC method. The performance of the POCT-HbA1cMWCNTs/AuNPs was evaluated using the standard cut-off HbA1c level of >6.5%. The test's sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 100.00%, 90.32%, 87.23%, and 100.00%, respectively. The probability of DM diagnosis in a subject with HbA1c >6.5% (positive predictive value) was 87.23% (82/94). The accuracy of the POCT-HbA1cMWCNTs/AuNPs was 94.18%, with a %DMV (deviation from the mean value) of 0.25%. The results indicate satisfactory assay performance and applicability of the POCT-HbA1cMWCNTs/AuNPs for diagnosis of DM using the cut-off criteria of HbA1c >6.5.
