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

Drug identification and screening are crucial in precision medicine and pharmaceutical research, yet they face challenges such as interference from complex biological matrices, insufficient sensitivity for trace detection, and poor specificity. Multifunctional metal-organic framework (MOF) composites, leveraging their tunable pore structures, high specific surface area, and modular functional integration capabilities, have emerged as promising solutions to address these issues. Despite rapid progress, a systematic review comprehensively consolidating these advances remains absent. This review systematically summarizes the design strategies and performance advantages of four representative types of MOF composites (carbon dots (CDs)-MOFs, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs)-MOFs, biomacromolecules-MOFs, covalent organic frameworks (COFs)-MOFs), along with their applications in multimodal sensing (fluorescence, electrochemical, colorimetric, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)) and high-efficiency screening platforms (offline ligand fishing (LF) and immobilized enzyme microreactors (IMERs)). Collective findings demonstrate that rationally engineered multifunctional MOF composites can significantly meet the stringent requirements of drug analysis regarding sensitivity, selectivity, and stability. This review also provides an in-depth discussion of current challenges and future directions in the field, including stability, structure-activity relationships, biocompatibility, and scalable fabrication, aiming to offer design insights for the development of drug identification and screening technologies and to fill the gap in systematic reviews in this area.
