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

The unique benefits of sub-picomolar and single-molecule detection for the diagnosis and prognosis of diseases and therapeutic efficacy monitoring have been driving the development of nanoscale biomolecular sensors. Nanoscale sensors can be attached to the surface or dispersed in solution, enabling the rapid detection of analytes with high sensitivity and specificity by overcoming concentration-driven diffusion limits. In biological fluids, however, nanoscale objects are surrounded by biomolecules, mostly proteins, that form an evolving encapsulating surface layer, commonly known as the protein corona. The protein corona can modify the biosensor surface, which can adversely impact biosensing specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy. Conversely, the protein corona can be exploited to design biosensors for disease diagnostics, the discovery of new biomarkers, and environmental contaminants. In this review, the factors influencing protein corona formation on nanoscale biosensors are examined. Characterization methods and the effects of protein corona formation on the performance of nanoscale biosensors are also discussed. Promising strategies to prevent, circumvent, and exploit corona formation are presented and this review concludes by outlining future perspectives of nanoscale biomolecular sensors for practical application in biological fluids.
