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

Oligonucleotide-based aptamers are increasingly being used as recognition elements in biosensors to detect analytes relevant to diverse applications including medical diagnostics and therapeutic drug monitoring. Nevertheless, the utility of aptamers is often hindered by their insufficient target-binding affinity. We recently developed an affinity maturation approach termed Motif-SELEX that can improve aptamer binding affinity by up to an order of magnitude. This approach entails performing
