Article in ACS applied materials & interfaces, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Despite the clinical data showing the importance of ascorbic acid (AA or vitamin C) in managing viral respiratory infections, biosensors for their simultaneous detection are lacking. To address this need, we developed a portable and wireless device for simultaneous detection of AA and SARS-CoV-2 virus by integrating commercial transistors with printed laser-induced graphene (LIG) as the extended gate. We studied the effect of laser printing pass number and showed that with two laser printing passes (2-pass LIG), the sensor sensitivity and limit of detection (LOD) for AA improved by a factor of 1.6 and 12.8, respectively. Using complementary characterization methods, we attribute the improved response to a balanced interplay of crystallinity, defect density, surface area, surface roughness, pore density and diameter, and mechanical integrity/stability. These factors enhance analyte transport, reduce noise/variability, and ensure consistent sensor performance, making 2-pass LIG the most effective material in this work. Our sensors exhibit promising performance for detecting AA with a selective response in the presence of common salivary interfering molecules, with sensitivity and LOD of 73.67 mV/dec and 54.04 nM in 1× phosphate buffered saline and 81.05 mV/dec and 78.34 nM in artificial saliva, respectively. We also showed that functionalization of the 2-pass LIG gate with S-protein antibody enables the detection of SARS-CoV-2 protein antigens with an ultralow LOD of 52 zg/mL─an improvement of more than 10-fold compared to 1-pass LIG─and 4 particles/mL for virion mimics with a selective response against influenza virus and multiple human coronavirus strains. With low signal drift/hysteresis and wireless capabilities, the developed device holds great potential for improving at-home monitoring and clinical decision-making.
