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

Nucleic acid aptamers are promising next-generation experimental and therapeutic drugs for uncharacterized biomolecules and intractable diseases. However, efficient aptamer selection remains challenging. We have developed a functional selection method termed extracellular vesicle (EV)-SELEX that efficiently selects DNA aptamers for G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), a major class of drug targets via ligand-dependent GPCR endocytosis and subsequent release of GPCR-containing EVs. Using this method, we obtained Dapt-μR, a DNA aptamer that had a high affinity to μ-opioid receptor (MOR) (K
