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

Atomic force microscopy in a force-spectroscopy mode has been used to investigate the kinetics of the adsorption process of fibrinogen molecules on a silica surface. An original "approach/retraction" cycle of the tip/surface was used for this purpose. Fibrinogen molecules were adsorbed on the atomic force microscopy tip and were brought into contact with the silica surface for different interaction times varying from 5 to 2,000 ms. Multiple consecutive ruptures were observed. The mean number of ruptures nr per cycle increases steadily with the interaction time as well as the mean strength fr which varies from 300 pN for 5 ms to 1,400 pN for 2,000 ms. The minimal interaction time for a fibrinogen molecule to bind strongly to a silica surface during an adsorption process appears to lie between 50 and 200 ms. The histograms of the distances between two consecutive ruptures in one cycle exhibit maxima around 20-25 nm. This length is comparable to the characteristic distance between D and E globules of one fibrinogen molecule and suggests that fibrinogen molecules mainly adsorb through their D and E globules.
