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 total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy was used to observe the dynamic behavior of polycytosine single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) (1-50 nucleotides long) at the interface between aqueous solution and hydrophilic (oligoethylene glycol-modified fused silica, OEG) and hydrophobic (octadecyltriethoxysilane-modified fused silica, OTES) solid surfaces. High throughput molecular tracking was used to determine >75,000 molecular trajectories for each molecular length, which were then used to calculate surface residence time and squared displacement (i.e., "step-size") distributions. On hydrophilic OEG surfaces, the surface residence time increased systematically with ssDNA chain length, as expected due to increasing molecule-surface interactions. Interestingly, the residence time decreased with increasing ssDNA length on the hydrophobic OTES surface, particularly for longer chains. Similarly, the interfacial mobility of polynucleotides slowed with increasing chain length on OEG, but became faster on OTES. On OTES surfaces, the rates associated with desorption and surface diffusion exhibited the distinctive anomalous temperature dependence that is characteristic of hydrophobic interactions for short-chain species but not for longer chains. These combined observations suggest that long oligonucleotides adopt conformations minimizing hydrophobic interactions, e.g., by internal sequestration of hydrophobic nucleobases.
