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

Monolayer graphene has great potential for a range of technological and biomedical applications. To achieve this potential, however, selective functionalization of the surface using mild chemical methods that yield spatially and chemically well-defined functional groups is needed. Here, we describe a method to densely and uniformly modify the surface of graphene using a diazonium salt containing a tetrazine moiety, a functional group amenable to bioorthogonal chemistry. The resulting functionalized graphene efficiently undergoes inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reactions with trans-cyclooctene (TCO) coupled compounds, including a small organic molecule and an anti-GFP nanobody. The nanobody decorated graphene readily captures EGFP tagged apoferritin (EGFP apo-Ftn) and by following the binding by total internal fluorescence microscopy, we demonstrate that the functionalized graphene can robustly capture EGFP apo-Ftn molecules at a concentration of 2 pm.
