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

Solid-phase hybridization, i.e. the process of recognition between DNA probes immobilized on a solid surface and complementary targets in a solution is a central process in DNA microarray and biosensor technologies. In this work, we investigate the simultaneous effect of monovalent and divalent cations on the hybridization of fully complementary or partly mismatched DNA targets to DNA probes immobilized on the surface of a surface plasmon resonance sensor. Our results demonstrate that the hybridization process is substantially influenced by the cation shielding effect and that this effect differs substantially for solid-phase hybridization, due to the high surface density of negatively charged probes, and hybridization in a solution. In our study divalent magnesium is found to be much more efficient in duplex stabilization than monovalent sodium (15 mM Mg2+ in buffer led to significantly higher hybridization than even 1 M Na+). This trend is opposite to that established for oligonucleotides in a solution. It is also shown that solid-phase duplex destabilization substantially increases with the length of the involved oligonucleotides. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the use of a buffer with the appropriate cation composition can improve the discrimination of complementary and point mismatched DNA targets.
