Novel Aptamer Strategies in Combating Bacterial Infections: From Diagnostics to Therapeutics.
Review in Pharmaceutics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Bacterial infections and antimicrobial resistance are posing substantial difficulties to the worldwide healthcare system. The constraints of conventional diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in dealing with continuously changing infections highlight the necessity for innovative solutions. Aptamers, which are synthetic oligonucleotide ligands with a high degree of specificity and affinity, have demonstrated significant promise in the field of bacterial infection management. This review examines the use of aptamers in the diagnosis and therapy of bacterial infections. The scope of this study includes the utilization of aptasensors and imaging technologies, with a particular focus on their ability to detect conditions at an early stage. Aptamers have shown exceptional effectiveness in suppressing bacterial proliferation and halting the development of biofilms in therapeutic settings. In addition, they possess the capacity to regulate immune responses and serve as carriers in nanomaterial-based techniques, including radiation and photodynamic therapy. We also explore potential solutions to the challenges faced by aptamers, such as nuclease degradation and in vivo instability, to broaden the range of applications for aptamers to combat bacterial infections.
