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

In the past few years, many studies have attempted to measure the strength of a single molecular bond. In general, these experiments consisted in pulling on the bond and measuring the force necessary to dissociate the molecules. However, seemingly contradictory experimental results led to draw the intriguing conclusion that the strength of the bond could depend on the experiment even if the pulling conditions are similar: this paradox was first observed on the widely used streptavidin-biotin bond. Here, by doing supplementary measurements and by reanalyzing the controversial experimental results using Kramers' theory, we show that they can be conciliated. This allows us to show that the strength of a bond is very sensitive to the history of its formation, which is the key to the paradox.
