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

A novel nanobiosensor-based colorimetric method was developed by integrating ZnO nanoparticles functionalized with curcumin, dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME), and smartphone digital image colorimetry for the sensitive detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in baby food samples. The unique combination of biologically-derived ZnO nanoparticles with curcumin created a sensing platform, while DLLME provided efficient pre-concentration of the target analyte. A custom-designed portable colorimetric box enabled standardized image capture and analysis using a smartphone camera and colorimetric software. Under optimized conditions using chloroform as the extraction solvent and acetonitrile as the disperser solvent, the method achieved a remarkable limit of detection of 0.09 μg/kg within linear concentration range of 0-1 μg/L. The calibration curves demonstrated excellent linearity (R
