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

Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is a promising biomarker of axonal injury across acute and chronic neurodegeneration, which can improve drug discovery and disease monitoring models. Traditional in vivo animal models cannot fully mimic human pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), but in vitro models based on human cells solve this problem, reducing the time and cost of drug testing. We developed an electrochemical immunosensor for NfL detection in cell culture media to monitor acute neuronal injury in in vitro models. The biosensor was designed in two configurations: the label-free system, which directly detects NfL in the sample via the antibody-antigen interaction, and the sandwich configuration, which incorporates two additional antibodies. Detection was examined using electrochemical techniques, including cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and chronoamperometry (CA). The sensor demonstrated a detection limit of 3-9 pg mL
