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 capacitive screen-printed electrode immunosensor operating in non-faradaic mode by dispensing redox probes was developed for the Coronavirus 2 Spike (S) protein. This new strategy enabled direct detection of the S protein by measuring changes in the electrochemical capacitance resulting from antigen-antibody interactions on the electrode surface, altering interfacial dielectric properties. To enhance analytical sensitivity and provide an electrode surface with attractive capacitive and conductive properties, an in-house graphite ink-based screen-printed electrode was developed and subsequently modified with a polypyrrole (PPy) layer in bulk-synthesized in the presence of Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). CTAB acted as a dispersing and structure-directing agent, promoting homogeneous distribution and guiding the PPy polymerization, resulting in a composite with improved charge density storage and high conductivity. Analytical signals of the S proteins in spiked serum were detected by measuring the Specific Capacitances taken from cyclic voltammograms. This capacitive immunosensor achieved a linear range from 1 to 100 µg/mL (R
