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

Ultrasensitive biosensors are crucial for pandemic prevention and healthcare monitoring. The interactions between biomolecules and functional materials, such as metals and semiconductors, have led to the development of highly sensitive biosensors. Organic semiconductors, known for their unique mixed ion and electronic conduction properties in aqueous solutions, show promise in these applications. However, the interactions between organic semiconductors and biomolecules remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigate the interaction between nucleic acid and a conjugate polymer by analyzing the performance of organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs). For the first time, we demonstrate that negatively charged ribonucleic acid (RNA) can interact with the conjugate polymer, leading to a decrease in the volumetric capacitance of the polymer channel in aqueous solutions. Based on this effect, OECTs are employed to detect various RNA biomarkers with high sensitivity, achieving multiplexed and selective detections of multiple RNA biomarkers at a low detection limit down to 10
