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

Single-molecule data often show step-like changes in the quantity measured between constant levels. Analysis of this data consists of detecting the steps, i.e., change point detection (CPD), and determining the levels, i.e., clustering. We describe a novel algorithm which integrates these two analyses, based on a statistical test of a normal distribution. The test of normality (TON) algorithm integrates statistical CPD with gaussian mixture model clustering. We used TON with both simulated data and ion channel patch-clamp recordings. It performed well with simulated data except at a high signal-to-noise ratio and when the frequency of steps was high compared to the sampling frequency. TON has advantages over separate CPD and mixture modeling algorithms, especially for complex single-molecule data. This was illustrated by its application to the maxichannel, an ion channel with multiple subconductance states.
