Ultrasensitive Detection and Separation of Pancreatic Cancer Biomarker CA 19-9 Using a Multiphoton Laser Wave-Mixing Detector Interfaced to Capillary Electrophoresis.

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 carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is the most commonly used biomarker in the clinical diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Multiphoton nonlinear laser wave-mixing spectroscopy is presented as an ultrasensitive detection method for CA 19-9. Wave mixing is an optical absorption-based method, and hence, one can detect CA 19-9 without labels in their native form using compact ultraviolet (UV) lasers or labeled samples using a visible laser. The wave-mixing signal exhibits a quadratic dependence on the sample concentration, and hence, it is an ideal sensor to monitor small changes in the sample. Wave mixing has inherent advantages over other absorption-based detection methods, including short optical path length (micrometer-thin samples instead of 1 cm cuvette) and excellent spatial resolution (micrometer probe). Since the laser wave-mixing probe volume is small (picoliter), it is convenient to interface to microfluidics or capillary-based electrophoresis systems to enhance chemical specificity. Our wave-mixing detectors could be configured as portable battery-powered devices suitable for field use. Laser wave-mixing spectroscopy offers enhanced selectivity levels for protein detection when coupled with capillary electrophoresis (CE). We report a concentration detection limit of 0.16 U/mL, and a corresponding mass detection limit of 1.2 × 10
