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

Over the past decade, nanopores have rapidly emerged as stochastic biosensors. This protocol describes the cloning, expression and purification of the channel of the bacteriophage phi29 DNA-packaging nanomotor and its subsequent incorporation into lipid membranes for single-pore sensing of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and chemicals. The membrane-embedded phi29 nanochannel remains functional and structurally intact under a range of conditions. When ions and macromolecules translocate through this nanochannel, reliable fingerprint changes in conductance are observed. Compared with other well-studied biological pores, the phi29 nanochannel has a larger cross-sectional area, which enables the translocation of dsDNA. Furthermore, specific amino acids can be introduced by site-directed mutagenesis within the large cavity of the channel to conjugate receptors that are able to bind specific ligands or analytes for desired applications. The lipid membrane-embedded nanochannel system has immense potential nanotechnological and biomedical applications in bioreactors, environmental sensing, drug monitoring, controlled drug delivery, early disease diagnosis and high-throughput DNA sequencing. The total time required for completing one round of this protocol is around 1 month.
