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

The valency of quantum dot nanoparticles conjugated with biomolecules is closely related to their performance in cell tagging, tracking, and imaging experiments. Commercially available streptavidin conjugates (SAv QDs) are the most commonly used tool for preparing QD-biomolecule conjugates. The fluorescence quenching of biotin-4-fluorscein (B4F) provides a straightforward assay to quantify the number of biotin binding sites per SAv QD. The utility of this method was demonstrated by quantitatively characterizing the biotin binding capacity of commercially available amphiphilic poly(acrylic acid) Qdot ITK SAv conjugates and poly(ethylene glycol) modified Qdot PEG SAv conjugates with emission wavelengths of 525, 545, 565, 585, 605, 625, 655, 705, and 800 nm. Results showed that 5- to 30-fold more biotin binding sites are available on ITK SAv QDs compared to PEG SAv QDs of the same color with no systematic variation of biotin binding capacity with size.
