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

Organophosphorus (OP) compounds are neurotoxins that are among the most widely used pesticides in agriculture in the United States. In this application, a new integrated point-of-care smartphone/resistive nanosensor device is developed for onsite rapid and sensitive detection of exposure to OP pesticides from a drop of finger-stick blood among a sample of farmworkers. The nanosensor leverages the transport properties of a multiwalled carbon nanotube/polyaniline nanofiber (MWCNT/PAnNF) nanocomposite film on a gold interdigitated electrode and acetylcholinesterase/butyrylcholinesterase (AChE/BChE) hydrolysis of their respective substrates generating protons doping PAnNFs, thereby increasing the conductance of the film. As such, a conductance change can be used to quantify cholinesterase activity, enabling assessment of acute/chronic OP poisoning. Additionally, a mobile app was developed for the nanosensor to process, display, track, and share results. Under optimal conditions, the nanosensor demonstrated exceptional sensitivity with the detection limits of 0.11 U/mL for AChE and 0.093 U/mL for BChE, physiologically relevant dynamic ranges of 2.0-18.0 U/mL for AChE and 0.5-5.0 U/mL for BChE in whole blood, and high reproducibility with the relative standard variation of <4%. The nanosensor was further validated with widely used radiometric and Ellman's methods, utilizing both
