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

objectiveThis work aims to develop an electrochemical biosensor for the analysis of zidovudine (ZDV) in commercial tablets.

methodThe biosensor utilised silver nanoclay composites (AgNCs) together with drop-coated Human Serum Albumin (HSA) on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE/AgNCs/HSA). The electrochemical properties of the GCE/AgNCs/HSA were studied using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and analysed using the Randles-Sevcik equation. Procedurally, optimised differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique in 1 M PBS, pH 7.04, was used to determine analytical parameters of the methods, validation, and study of commercial tablets.

resultsThe optimum procedural conditions used were -0.4 V to -1 V potential range, 0.0405 V step potential, 0.075 V modulation amplitude, 0.01 s modulation time, and 0.25 s interval time. GCE/AgNCs/HSA film's electrochemical properties obtained were a diffusion coefficient (D) of 1.55 × 10-11 cm2.s-1, a heterogeneous rate constant (Ks) of 3.40 × 10-6 cm.s-1, with two electrons. The calibration graph linear range was from 0.12 to 6.98 μM with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.3 μM, and 1.0 μM limit of quantification (LOQ). Method validation showed an acceptable %RSD for reproducibility and repeatability. The sensor was stable over 10 days and remained unaffected by the presence of the interferences studied. The commercial study of 300 mg commercial tablets was found to be 301.3 mg with 1.9% RSD, which is in agreement with the tablet's stated amount.

conclusionThe development of the GCE/AgNCs/HSA biosensor was successful and efficiently used to quantify ZDV in tablets.
