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

MicroRNAs, pivotal regulators of gene expression and physiology, serve as reliable biomarkers for early cancer diagnosis and therapy. As one of the earliest discovered miRNAs in the human genome, miRNA-21 provides critical information for early cancer diagnosis, drug therapy, and prognosis. In this work, we harness CRISPR as a bridge to integrate target-induced self-priming hairpin isothermal amplification (SIAM) with terminal transferase (TdT) polymerization labeling, constructing a facile, straightforward electrochemical biosensor for sensitive miRNA-21 detection. Unlike conventional single-strand template-based exponential amplification (EXPAR), the SIAM hairpin undergoes target triggered intramolecular conformational change, initiating extension and strand displacement reactions that suppress nonspecific dimer formation and lower background current. Notably, the assay requires only a single probe, enabling unidirectional signal amplification while nonspecific reactions caused by system complexity. The generated SIAM products activate the Cas12a/crRNA complex to trans-cleave PO
