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

In dynamic force spectroscopy, a (bio-)molecular complex is subjected to a steadily increasing force until the chemical bond breaks. Repeating the same experiment many times results in a broad distribution of rupture forces, whose quantitative interpretation represents a formidable theoretical challenge. In this study we address the situation that more than a single molecular bond is involved in one experimental run, giving rise to multiple rupture events that are even more difficult to analyze and thus are usually eliminated as far as possible from the further evaluation of the experimental data. We develop and numerically solve a detailed model of a complete dynamic force spectroscopy experiment including a possible clustering of molecules on the substrate surface, the formation of bonds, their dissociation under load, and the postprocessing of the force extension curves. We show that the data, remaining after elimination of obvious multiple rupture events, may still contain a considerable number of hidden multiple bonds, which are experimentally indistinguishable from true single bonds, but which have considerable effects on the resulting rupture force statistics and its consistent theoretical interpretation.
