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

The increasing demand for sensitive, portable, and affordable disease detection methods has spurred the development of advanced biosensors for rapid early-stage diagnosis, population mass screening, and bed-monitoring. Current high-sensitivity devices face hurdles such as high production costs and challenges in multiplexed signal detection. To address these, we developed a prism-based total internal reflection system which, in combination with surface functionalization techniques of gold nanoparticles, enables evanescent wave scattering for highly sensitive and rapid detection of specific analytes in both synthetic and human liquid samples. To validate its efficacy, we conducted scattering experiments in synthetic and human serum samples, exploiting functionalized AuNPs to recognize bacterial lipopolysaccharides as biomarkers for sepsis disease. We demonstrate a remarkable sensitivity in the femtogram per mL concentration range for this specific pathological biomarker. Based on this result we envisage the potential adoption of our technique for liquid biopsy in the clinical scenario.
