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

A poly(bromocresol green)-modified screen-printed carbon electrode (PBCG/SPCE) was fabricated through electropolymerization for the electrochemical determination of uric acid (UA). The modified electrode was characterized using cyclic voltammetry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, confirming successful formation of the poly(bromocresol green) film on the electrode surface. Electrochemical characterization revealed an approximately 50% increase in electroactive surface area compared with the bare electrode, which contributed to improved electron-transfer kinetics and enhanced oxidation peak current for UA detection. The electrocatalytic activity of the polymer film was attributed to facilitated charge transfer and adsorption interactions between UA and the functional groups of the polymeric coating. Differential pulse voltammetry was employed for quantitative determination of UA in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.0). Under optimized conditions, the sensor exhibited a linear response over the concentration range of 0.1-1000 µM with a detection limit of 0.0212 µM and a limit of quantification of 0.0638 µM. In the presence of ascorbic acid, the modified electrode showed moderate selectivity toward UA, with a selectivity coefficient of 0.23. The sensor also demonstrated good operational stability, with coefficient variations of 2.44% for peak current and 0.39% for peak potential, as well as good reproducibility and repeatability, with relative standard deviations of 2.67% and 2.91%, respectively. Finally, the developed PBCG/SPCE sensor was successfully applied to the determination of UA in human urine samples, indicating its potential utility for low-cost and sensitive clinical analysis.
