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

Semen identification in forensic samples using prostate-specific antigen (PSA) overcomes limitations of conventional methods such as UV illumination and spermatozoa detection. In this study, we describe an antibody microarray for the quantitative immunochemical detection of PSA in forensic samples using 3D oxygen plasma-nanotextured polymer-coated glass slides. The analytical performance of these substrates was compared with that of silane-modified glass slides and demonstrated improved intra- and inter-spot homogeneity, as well as an extended linear dynamic range. Based on the 3D nanotextured slides, a two-step non-competitive immunoassay was developed using a biotinylated anti-PSA antibody and Alexa Fluor 546-labeled streptavidin for fluorescence detection. The assay was completed within 1 h, achieved a detection limit of 0.05 ng/mL PSA, and enabled semen detection at dilutions of up to 2 × 10
