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

Polymer-monovalent salt-induced single-molecule DNA compaction/condensation in a microfluidic stagnation point flow was studied by analyzing both DNA compaction images and time trajectories. For the whole DNA compaction process we observed three successive steps: Step I, a relaxation process of the stretched DNA that occurs slowly along the whole DNA chain, Step II, nucleus formation and growth, and Step III, corresponding to a rapid compaction of the chain. A memory effect was observed between Steps I and III, and a new (intruder-induced) nucleation mode was observed for the first time. This study extends the use of the microfluidic stagnation point flow, which we have previously used for sequence detection and to measure enzyme kinetics site-specifically.
