Motion-based DNA detection using catalytic nanomotors.
Article in Nature communications, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 60 papers.
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
Synthetic nanomotors, which convert chemical energy into autonomous motion, hold considerable promise for diverse applications. In this paper, we show the use of synthetic nanomotors for detecting DNA and bacterial ribosomal RNA in a fast, simple and sensitive manner. The new motion-driven DNA-sensing concept relies on measuring changes in the speed of unmodified catalytic nanomotors induced by the dissolution of silver nanoparticle tags captured in a sandwich DNA hybridization assay. The concentration-dependent distance signals are visualized using optical microscopy, particularly through straight-line traces by magnetically aligned 'racing' nanomotors. This nanomotor biodetection strategy could be extended to monitor a wide range of biomolecular interactions using different motion transduction schemes, thus providing a versatile and powerful tool for detecting biological targets.
