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

High-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) is becoming a reference tool for the study of dynamic biological processes. The spatial and time resolutions of HS-AFM are on the order of nanometers and milliseconds, respectively, and allow structural and functional characterization of biological processes at the single-molecule level. In this work we present contact-mode HS-AFM movies of purple membranes containing two-dimensional arrays of bacteriorhodopsin (bR). In high-resolution movies acquired at a 100 ms frame acquisition time, the substructure on individual bR trimers was visualized. In regions in between different bR arrays, dynamic topographies were observed and interpreted as motion of the bR trimers. Similarly, motion of bR monomers in the vicinity of lattice defects in the purple membrane was observed. Our findings indicate that the bR arrays are in a mobile association-dissociation equilibrium. HS-AFM on membranes provides novel perspectives for analyzing the membrane diffusion processes of nonlabeled molecules.
