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

Advancements in single molecule detection (SMD) continue to unfold powerful ways to study the behavior of individual and complex molecular systems in real time. SMD enables the characterization of complex molecular interactions and reveals basic physical phenomena underlying chemical and biological processes. We present here a systematic study of the quenching efficiency of Förster-type energy-transfer (FRET) for multiple fluorophores immobilized on a single antibody. We simultaneously monitor the fluorescence intensity, fluorescence lifetime, and the number of available photons before photobleaching as a function of the number of identical emitters bound to a single IgG antibody. The detailed studies of FRET between individual fluorophores reveal complex through-space interactions. In general, even for two or three fluorophores immobilized on a single protein, homo-FRET interactions lead to an overall non-linear intensity increase and shortening of fluorescence lifetime. Over-labeling of protein in solution (ensemble) results in the loss of fluorescence signal due to the self-quenching of fluorophores making it useless for assays applications. However, in the single molecule regime, over-labeling may bring significant benefits in regards to the number of available photons and the overall survival time. Our investigation reveals possibilities to significantly increase the observation time for a single macromolecule allowing studies of macromolecular interactions that are not obscured by ensemble averaging. Extending the observation time will be crucial for developing immunoassays based on single-antibody.
