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

Affordable, sensitive, and simplified DNA/RNA detection is important for disease diagnosis and enables timely medical intervention measures. Usually, high sensitivity depends on expensive instruments and sophisticated procedures, making sensitivity contradict affordability and simplicity. Here, we proposed an ultra-sensitive single-tube biosensor (USTB) where users can visually detect targets by observing the liquid motion state in a glass tube. The developed instrument-free USTB performed low-cost ($0.1), fast (1 min), and ultra-sensitive detection for both the DNA/RNA fragments (≤1 aM) and the clinical positive samples, which commercial reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and PCR kits could not effectively recognize. Furthermore, USTB is promising to be easily applied to detect other-type biomarkers by the designed smart sensing unit.
