Quantitative detection of individual cleaved DNA molecules on surfaces using gold nanoparticles and scanning electron microscope imaging.

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
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most frequent type of human genetic variation. Recent work has shown that it is possible to directly analyze SNPs in unamplified human genomic DNA samples using the surface-invasive cleavage reaction followed by rolling circle amplification (RCA) labeling of the cleavage products. The individual RCA amplicon molecules were counted on the surface using fluorescence microscopy. Two principal limitations of such single-molecule counting are the variability in the amplicon size, which results in a large variation in fluorescence signal intensity from the dye-labeled DNA molecules, and a high level of background fluorescence. It is shown here that an excellent alternative to RCA labeling is tagging with gold nanoparticles followed by imaging with a scanning electron microscope. Gold nanoparticles have a uniform diameter (15 +/- 0.5 nm) and provide excellent contrast against the background of the silicon substrate employed. Individual gold nanoparticles are readily counted using publicly available software. The results demonstrate that the labeling efficiency is improved by as much as approximately 15-fold, and the signal-to-noise ratio is improved by approximately 4-fold. Detection of individual cleaved DNA molecules following surface-invasive cleavage was linear and quantitative over 3 orders of magnitude in amount of target DNA (10(-18)-10(-15) mol).
