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

The need for sensitive and reliable adenine (Ade) detection in complex biological systems has driven the development of advanced electrochemical sensing platforms. In this work, we developed a molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor based on a ternary interface composed of homogeneously distributed Au nanoparticles (AuNPs), nitrogen/sulfur co-doped graphene quantum dots (NSGQDs), and nitrogen-doped graphene (NGR) on disposable screen-printed electrodes. Unlike conventional conductive modifiers that primarily promote electron transfer, NSGQDs served as nucleation-directing mediators, regulating the growth and anchoring of AuNPs on NGR and thereby producing a more uniform, lower-resistance transduction layer. This improved interfacial homogeneity facilitated signal transduction and supported the formation of a more consistent poly(o-phenylenediamine) molecularly imprinted film for Ade recognition. Under optimized conditions, the sensor exhibited two linear ranges of 0.05-20.0 μM and 20.0-150.0 μM, with a limit of detection of 0.012 μM and a limit of quantification of 0.036 μM. The sensor also showed good selectivity, reproducibility, reusability, and stability, with satisfactory recoveries in spiked human serum samples. These results indicate that improved control over AuNPs nucleation and interfacial uniformity can translate into broader linearity, lower detection limits, and more dependable electrochemical sensing of Ade in complex matrices.
