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.
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
A ratiometric colorimetric assay based on the classical biuret reaction was developed and systematically optimized for the quantification of total protein (TP) in human serum. By exploiting absorbance ratios rather than single-wavelength measurements, the method compensates for fluctuations associated with reagent blank instability, matrix effects, and instrumental drift, particularly under finely tuned alkaline conditions. The assay was analytically validated using the Bradford method as reference and benchmarked against the conventional absorbance at 550 nm, showing improved robustness, linearity, and reproducibility. The assay was successfully applied to both commercial pooled serum and clinical specimens, confirming reliable performance across real and heterogeneous biological matrices. Owing to its simplicity, low cost, and enhanced stability, the proposed ratiometric biuret assay represents a practical alternative for routine TP quantification, including use in decentralized or resource-limited analytical settings.
