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

A photocatalytic molecularly imprinted sensor based on zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs) for the visual detection of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)TVM is reported. The sensor operates through virus-selective binding within molecularly imprinted cavities, which suppresses the photocatalytic degradation of Brilliant Green (BG) under visible light, enabling semi-quantitative visual readout within 5 min. The ZnO NRs serve a dual role as the photoactive transducer and structural scaffold, facilitating selective TMV recognition without requiring any biological reagents (e.g., antibodies or enzymes) or RNA extraction, aligning with the principles of reagent minimization and waste prevention in Green Analytical Chemistry (GAC). The entire analytical process is designed to be environmentally benign. For on-site application, a rapid screening protocol enables visual readout within 5 min without any instrumentation. This system achieves a detection limit of 0.96 pM, with recoveries of 93.7-106.4%. With a cost of only RBM 0.07 per test, the rapid visual protocol offers a scalable, farmer-friendly solution for rapid field detection of TMV, exemplifying a sustainable and green analytical workflow for enhancing crop protection and sustainable agriculture.
