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

Electrochemical surface plasmon resonance (ESPR) based biosensors play significant role in cancer detection due to its ability for real-time analysis and rapid detection. Herein, ESPR based biosensor was designed employing three different coupling strategies for the detection of cancer biomarker α-fetoprotein (AFP), a liver cancer biomarker. AFP antibody was immobilized on gold coated glass sensor disk using three different coupling strategies viz. (i) 1-Ethyl-3-[3-dimethylaminopropyl] carbodiimide / N-hydroxy succinamide (EDC/NHS), (ii) ethylene diamine/ glutaraldehyde (EDA/GA) and (iii) polyaniline/glutaraldehyde (PANI/GA) strategies. Among the three coupling strategies, immobilization via EDA/GA strategy afforded highest sensitivity (28°/(ng/ml)) with reasonable linear range (0.5-3 ng/ml) and whereas EDC/NHS strategy afforded wide linear range (5-70 ng/ml) with reasonable sensitivity (2.12°/(ng/ml). Immobilization efficiency and interaction steps involved in the sensor construction were investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The sensor constructed using EDC/NHS strategy was validated by quantifying AFP in human blood serum samples, where the results are consistent with the values determined using ELISA. This fundamental study can help the researcher to choose the relevant coupling strategy for achieving desired sensor characteristics in clinical analysis of cancer biomarkers.
