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

Tuberculosis (TB) is a worldwide burden whose total control and eradication remains a challenge due to factors including false positive/negative diagnoses associated with the poor sensitivity of the current diagnostics in immune-compromised and post-vaccinated individuals. As these factors complicate both diagnosis and treatment, the early diagnosis of TB is of pivotal importance towards reaching the universal vision of a TB-free world. Here, an aptasensor for signaling an interferon gamma (IFN-γ) TB biomarker at low levels is reported. The aptasensor was assembled through gold-thiol interactions between poly(3,4-propylenedioxythiophene), gold nanoparticles, and a thiol-modified DNA aptamer specific to IFN-γ. The aptasensor sensitively detected IFN-γ in spiked pleural fluid samples with a detection limit of 0.09 pg/mL within a linear range from 0.2 pg/mL to 1.2 pg/mL. The good performance of the reported aptasensor indicates that it holds the potential for application in the early diagnosis of, in addition to TB, various diseases associated with IFN-γ release in clinical samples.
