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

Biosensors play key roles in medical research and diagnostics. However, the development of biosensors for new biomolecular targets of interest often involves tedious optimization steps to ensure a high signal response at the analyte concentration of interest. Here we show a modular nanosensor platform that facilitates these steps by offering ways to decouple and independently tune the signal output as well as the response window. Our approach utilizes a dynamic DNA origami nanostructure to engineer a high optical signal response based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer. We demonstrate mechanisms to tune the sensor's response window, specificity and cooperativity as well as highlight the modularity of the proposed platform by extending it to different biomolecular targets including more complex sensing schemes. This versatile nanosensor platform offers a promising starting point for the rapid development of biosensors with tailored properties.
