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

Proteins serve as important biomarkers for clinical diagnostics, and a simple detection method for point-of-care applications is highly desirable. We developed an antibody-detecting resistive biosensor that utilizes a conductive network of gold (Au) nanoparticles for the detection of protein biomarkers. The proposed biosensor comprises two electrodes bridged by a functional film comprising Au nanoparticles, a polymer matrix, and target-specific antibodies, and the nanoparticle concentration is selected within an experimentally identified percolation transition region to achieve high sensitivity to small changes in resistance. In experiments, the electrical response of the proposed biosensor showed reliable concentration-dependent behavior, consistent with charge-mediated modulation of electron transport within the conductive network. When applied to detecting urinary growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) as the target protein, the proposed biosensor exhibited a detection range of 23.4-1500 pg/mL and a fast response time of approximately 30 s, which would allow the tracking of dynamic changes in protein concentration. These results demonstrate that the proposed biosensor provides a simple and effective method for detecting various biomarkers in real time. The sensing concept may be extendable to other antigen-antibody systems, providing a potential general platform for biomolecular sensing.
