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

A competitive electrochemical immunosensor, using screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs), was developed for the determination of total fumonisins (sum of FB1, FB2 and FB3) extracted with a simple solvent extraction and dilution method, without clean up, from maize flour and maize tortillas. The optimized biosensor has a linear range of 0.25 to 50 µg/L with 3% and 2% reproducibility for FB1 and (FB1 + FB2), respectively, and a linear range of 0.25 to 10 µg/L with 2% reproducibility for (FB1 + FB2 + FB3). The limits of detection and quantification in PBS buffer for total fumonisins are 0.12 µg/L and 0.39 µg/L, respectively. These values in the maize matrix are 6.07 µg/kg and 20.25 µg/kg, respectively. In addition, the stability and the selectivity of the sensor were studied. The immunosensor was validated with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. This novel biosensor is more rapid, simpler and cheaper than current methods, and can also be used at the point of need.
