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

Current detection methods for aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) are often hindered by interference from complex sample matrices and typically require bulky instrumentation and specialized operations, which limit their utility for rapid on-site screening. To overcome these challenges, a lateral flow assay (LFA) strip was developed that employs Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNP) as a signal label. This approach substitutes conventional gold nanoparticles with cost-effective and easily synthesized PBNP. By utilizing EDC/NHS coupling, PBNP was conjugated to an AFB1-specific aptamer, establishing a competitive detection system. The experiments were optimized for probe coupling efficiency and reaction conditions, and the performance of the test strip was comprehensively evaluated. Results indicated that the constructed PBNP-LFA exhibited reliable detection performance, with a detection limit of 20.92 µg/kg, and excellent specificity for AFB1, with the entire detection process completed within 10 min. Furthermore, in practical food samples, such as corn flour and peanuts, this method demonstrated remarkable resistance to matrix interference and good reliability. This study presents a promising new strategy for rapid, low-cost point-of-care detection of AFB1.
