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

The combination of CRISPR/Cas12a and functional DNA provides the possibility of constructing biosensors for detecting non-nucleic-acid targets. In the current study, the duplex protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) in the activator of CRISPR/Cas12a was used as a molecular switch, and a sensitive adenosine triphosphate (ATP) detection biosensor was constructed using an allosteric probe-conjugated PAM site formation in hybridization chain reaction (HCR) integrated with the CRISPR/Cas12a system (APF-CRISPR). In the absence of ATP, an aptamer-containing probe (AP) is in a stem-loop structure, which blocks the initiation of HCR. In the presence of ATP, the structure of AP is changed upon ATP binding, resulting in the release of the HCR trigger strand and the production of long duplex DNA with many PAM sites. Since the presence of a duplex PAM site is crucial for triggering the cleavage activity of CRISPR/Cas12a, the ATP-dependent formation of the PAM site in HCR products can initiate the FQ-reporter cleavage, allowing ATP quantification by measuring the fluorescent signals. By optimizing the sequence elements and detection conditions, the aptasensor demonstrated superior detection performance. The limit of detection (LOD) of the assay was estimated to be 1.16 nM, where the standard deviation of the blank was calculated based on six repeated measurements. The dynamic range of the detection was 25-750 nM, and the whole workflow of the assay was approximately 60 min. In addition, the reliability and practicability of the aptasensor were validated by comparing it with a commercially available chemiluminescence kit for ATP detection in serum. Due to its high sensitivity, specificity, and reliable performance, the APF-CRISPR holds great potential in bioanalytical studies for ATP detection. In addition, we have provided a proof-of-principle for constructing a CRISPR/Cas12a-based aptasensor, in which the PAM is utilized to regulate Cas12a cleavage activity.
