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

Epigenetic DNA methylations are linked to the activation of oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. A reliable and label-free method to quantitatively measure DNA methylation levels is essential for diagnosing and monitoring methylation-related diseases. Herein, plasmonic molecular entrapment (PME) method assisted SERS as facile strategy for trapping and label-free sensing of DNA methylation, utilizing in situ surface growth of plasmonic particle in the presence of target analytes, are developed. This highly sensitive and adaptable technique forms hotspot sites around target analytes, overcoming mismatch geometrical properties and producing a strong electromagnetic field that leads to significant SERS signal enhancement. The PME method effectively profiles and quantifies DNA methylation, demonstrating robust capabilities for DNA analysis. A logistic regression (LR)-based machine learning accurately quantifies and classifies methylation levels in clinical serum samples of colorectal cancer and normal patients with high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy, highlighting the feasibility of this technique. The developed PME method combined with machine learning offers promising sensing techniques for disease screening and diagnosis, marking a significant advancement in disease detection and patient care.
