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 modified DNA combing method, which can precisely locate straightened DNA fibers on a substrate, has been developed. Precise motion control of a DNA solution droplet on hydrophobic surfaces has allowed detailed analyses of DNA straightening behavior. Our method provides a technique for consistently straightening lambda phage DNA on a trace of droplet motion, though the straightened DNAs had several variations in their alignments. The dependence of the straightened DNA frequency upon motion rate, fluidity in the droplet and environmental humidity was investigated. Visualization of the solution flow in the moving droplet indicated that flows circulating parallel to the contour of the droplet markedly bias the direction of straightening in relation to the site in the droplet. As a result, the alignment variations caused by the site specificity of the bias direction revealed that environmental humidity significantly alters the straightening behavior.
