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

We develop and present a one-pot sandwich immunoassay (termed oneSTEP) to detect target biomolecules in complex biological fluids based on programmable zwitterionic polymer coacervates. We design these coacervates to selectively recruit target analytes with ultralow nonspecific adsorption. We show that dynamic compartmentalization combined with local target enrichment delivers a rapid and wash-free sandwich immunoassay with high specificity and a high signal-to-noise ratio. The fluorescence-based readout is performed using standard microscopy methods and flow cytometry. We demonstrate the capabilities of the oneSTEP assay by detecting complement component 5 in human serum and the spike protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in artificial saliva with a limit of detection of 300 pM. The results highlight the potential of the oneSTEP sandwich immunoassay as complementary to bead-based approaches in high-throughput screening studies as well as clinical diagnostics.
