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

Saxitoxin (STX) is a highly potent marine biotoxin, and trace contamination in aquatic environments can pose serious risks to human health. Therefore, reliable detection of low-concentration STX is crucial for water safety monitoring. Here, we developed a robust electrochemical aptasensor based on a gold nanoparticle/chitosan (AuNP/CS) conductive network for STX detection in freshwater samples. The chitosan matrix provides a three-dimensional scaffold for aptamer immobilization, while interconnected AuNPs create efficient electron-transfer pathways across the sensing interface. This integrated architecture improves interfacial conductivity and supports stable target-induced aptamer recognition. The aptasensor exhibits a linear response from 1 to 1000 nM and a limit of detection of 0.74 nM, with an apparent dissociation constant K
