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

Biological nanopores enable the electrical detection of biomolecules, making them ideal sensors for use in health-monitoring devices. Proteins are widely recognized as biomarkers for various diseases, but they present a unique challenge due to their vast diversity and concentration range in biological samples. Here, inspired by the nuclear pore complex, we incorporated a layer of disordered polypeptides into the biological nanopore YaxAB. This polypeptide mesh formed an entropic gate, significantly reducing the entry of proteins from a highly concentrated mixture, including blood. The introduction of a specific recognition element within the disordered polypeptides allowed targeted proteins to penetrate through the nanopores, where they were recognized by specific current signatures. This biosensing approach allowed for the recognition of nanomolar proteins directly from blood samples without prior sample preparation. This work paves the way for the next generation of nanopore sensors for the real-time detection of proteins in blood.
