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

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has proven to be a powerful tool in biological sciences. Its particular advantage over other high-resolution methods commonly used is that biomolecules can be investigated not only under physiological conditions but also while they perform their biological functions. Single-molecule force spectroscopy with AFM tip-modification techniques can provide insight into intermolecular forces between individual ligand-receptor pairs of biological systems. Here we present protocols for force spectroscopy of living cells, including cell sample preparation, tip chemistry, step-by-step AFM imaging, force spectroscopy and data analysis. We also delineate critical steps and describe limitations that we have experienced. The entire protocol can be completed in 12 h. The model studies discussed here demonstrate the power of AFM for studying transmembrane transporters at the single-molecule level.
