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

Microbial biosensors hold great promise for engineering high-performance, field-deployable and affordable detection devices for medical and environmental applications. This review explores recent advances in the field, highlighting new sensing strategies and modalities for whole-cell biosensors as well as the remarkable expansion of microbial cell-free systems. We also discuss improvements in robustness that have enhanced the ability of biosensors to withstand the challenging conditions found in biological samples. However, limitations remain in expanding the detection repertoire, particularly for proteins. We anticipate that the AI-powered revolution in protein design will streamline the engineering of custom-made sensing modules and unlock the full potential of microbial biosensors.
