Mismatch-induced DNA unbending upon duplex opening.
Article in Biophysical journal, 2005. 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
A DNA duplex can be torn open at a specific position by introducing a branch or bulge to create an asymmetric three-way junction (TWJ). The opened duplex manifests a bent conformation (bending angle approximately 60 degrees , relative to the unopened form), which leads to a dramatic decrease in gel electrophoretic mobility. In the presence of a basepair mismatch at the opening position, the DNA backbone becomes less bent and assumes a distorted T-shaped structure, resulting in an increase in polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic mobility. Both conformational changes are confirmed using fluorescence resonance energy transfer experiments and found to be similar to the signature conformational changes of DNA duplex upon MutS protein binding. Our results imply that some structural rearrangements essential for mismatch recognition are achievable without protein interference. The gel electrophoretic mobility data for DNA TWJs with and without base mismatches correlates well with rotational diffusivity, computed by taking into account the conformational change of TWJ induced by base mismatch.
