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

Double electron-electron resonance (DEER) is an electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique used to determine distance distributions in the nanometer range between spin labels by measuring their dipole-dipole interactions. Here we describe how in-cell DEER can be applied to spin-labeled DNA sequences to unravel their conformations in living cells by long-range distance measurements in cellula. As EPR detects unpaired electron spins only, diamagnetic molecules provide no background and do not reduce detection sensitivity of the specific signal. Compared with in-cell NMR spectroscopy, low concentrations of spin-labeled molecules can be used owing to the higher sensitivity of EPR per spin. This protocol describes the synthesis of the spin labels, their introduction in DNA strands, the injection of labeled DNA solutions in cells and the performance of in-cell EPR measurements. Completion of the entire protocol takes ~20 d.
