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

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a pivotal broad-spectrum tumor marker, yet its accurate quantification in early-stage cancer remains challenging due to the limited sensitivity and operational complexity of conventional immunoassays. We report a signal-on fluorescent probe that synergistically integrates the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) quenching capability of Au@Ag NPs with enzyme-free catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) amplification for ultrasensitive detection of CEA. In this design, a Cy3-labeled hairpin DNA (H1) is anchored onto Au@Ag NPs to construct Au@Ag-H1 NPs, where the fluorophore is efficiently quenched. In the presence of CEA, the target specifically displaces a complementary DNA (cDNA) trigger from its aptamer duplex, initiating a CHA cascade reaction that repeatedly opens H1, spatially separates Cy3 from the nanoparticle surface, and restores the fluorescence emission. This strategy endows the probe with both an ultralow background signal and exponential signal amplification. Under optimized conditions, the proposed probe exhibited a wide linear range from 0.1 to 50 ng·mL
