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

Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are of great interest due to their unique properties and broad biological applications. Among these, borophene, a single-atom-thick boron sheet with a honeycomb structure, exhibits exceptional structural, electronic, and mechanical characteristics, making it a promising candidate for sensing, electronics, and biosensing. In this study, we report on a liquid-phase exfoliation method to synthesize stable borophene nanosheets and introduce a photoinduced immobilization technique to functionalize their surfaces with antibodies. By exploiting borophene's electron-deficient nature, we enable strong covalent bonding with electron-rich thiol groups in antibodies. UV irradiation cleaves antibody disulfide bonds, generating free thiols that form stable boron-sulfur bonds with borophene, resulting in spatially oriented antibodies that preserve antigen-binding activity. We demonstrate the application of these functionalized nanosheets in a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), a key tool in point-of-care diagnostics that is often limited by poor antibody orientation. The developed LFIA detects HMGB-1, a potential endometriosis biomarker, in menstrual effluent with results in 10 min and a limit of detection of 40 pg/mL. This performance surpasses that of conventional LFIAs, showing high sensitivity, specificity, and no cross-reactivity with common blood proteins. This study highlights a novel, reagent-free strategy for functionalizing borophene, enhancing its potential in biosensing applications.
