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

Ultrasensitive and specific detection of DNA is highly important for early cancer screening and diagnosis. Nucleic acid amplification technology is the most commonly used method for oncogene detection, but nonspecific amplification may occur. We designed a nicking endonuclease (NEase)-mediated exponential rolling circle amplification (RCA) that avoids nonspecific amplification for the CRISPR/Cas12a preamplification process. The purpose was to construct a NEase-assisted target recycling (NATR)-triggered no-nonspecific exponential RCA (NER) reaction integrated with a CRISPR/Cas12a (NATR-NER/Cas12a) system, enabling ultrasensitive and high-fidelity target detection. Innovatively, two circular single-stranded DNAs (ssDNAs) with NEase recognition sites were designed as the preprimer and template for RCA. In the presence of the target, the endonuclease Nt.BstNBI cleaves the circular preprimers into linear fragments, triggering the NER reaction. This generates many short ssDNA fragments, which are recognized by CRISPR/Cas12a and generates a fluorescence signal. The proposed strategy exhibited a wide linear range (10 fM-1 nM), a low detection limit (0.77 fM), and specifically recognized single mismatched DNA. In serum samples, this method exhibited good agreement with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) results at lower cost. The developed NATR-NER/Cas12a system provides a promising tool for the early screening and clinical diagnosis of cancer in resource-limited areas.
