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

Here we present LUCOS (Luminescent Competition Sensor), a modular and broadly applicable bioluminescent diagnostic platform enabling the detection of both small molecules and protein biomarkers. The construction of LUCOS sensors entails the covalent and site-specific coupling of a bioluminescent sensor component to an analyte-specific antibody via protein G-mediated photoconjugation. Target detection is accomplished through intramolecular competition with a tethered analyte competitor for antibody binding. We established two variants of LUCOS: an inherent ratiometric LUCOSR variant and an intensiometric LUCOSI version, which can be used for ratiometric detection upon the addition of a split calibrator luciferase. To demonstrate the versatility of the LUCOS platform, sensors were developed for the detection of the small molecule cortisol and the protein biomarker NT-proBNP. Sensors for both targets displayed analyte-dependent changes in the emission ratio and enabled detection in the micromolar concentration range (
