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

Paper-based biosensors hold significant promise for point-of-care (POC) diagnostic applications. Among these, lateral flow assays (LFAs) are particularly appealing due to their ease of use, portability, and low cost. However, their limited sensitivity and qualitative output set drawbacks on their reliability and widespread application. In response to the growing need for rapid and consistent diagnostic and monitoring tools, Organic Electrochemical Transistors (OECTs) have emerged as powerful devices in biochemical sensing applications because of their high sensitivity, low operating voltage, and compatibility with a biological environment. In this work, we developed a printable OECT for biochemical sensing on a commercial cellulose membrane, commonly used as a detection substrate in LFA-based rapid tests. Constituting a self-standing, passive microfluidic platform, the system was designed to transport and interact with liquid samples, while ensuring a contamination-free zone for the active components. Inside a dry area delimited by a hydrophobic barrier, the OECT components include dispense-printed silver electrodes, a polystyrenesulfonate-doped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxy-thiophene) (PEDOT:PSS) channel and gate, and a solid-state electrolyte (SSE) layer. Outside the dry area, a PEDOT:PSS extended gate alone interacts with the analyte in the liquid sample, preventing channel contamination and enhancing the system stability. We investigated the effect of dopamine (DA) oxidation at the extended gate interface on the device response and observed variations in the transfer characteristics, transconductance and
