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

Sedimentation velocity analytical ultracentrifugation is a classical biophysical technique that is commonly used to analyze the size, shape, and interactions of biological macromolecules in solution. Fluorescence detection provides enhanced sensitivity and selectivity relative to the standard absorption and refractrometric detectors, but data acquisition is more complex and can be subject to interference from several photophysical effects. Here, we describe methods to configure sedimentation velocity measurements using fluorescence detection and evaluate the performance of the fluorescence optical system. The fluorescence detector output is linear over a concentration range of at least 1 to 500nM fluorescein and Alexa Fluor 488. At high concentrations, deviations from linearity can be attributed to the inner filter effect. A duplex DNA labeled with Alexa Fluor 488 was used as a standard to compare sedimentation coefficients obtained using fluorescence and absorbance detectors. Within error, the sedimentation coefficients agree. Thus, the fluorescence detector is capable of providing precise and accurate sedimentation velocity results that are consistent with measurements performed using conventional absorption optics, provided the data are collected at appropriate sample concentrations and the optics are configured correctly.
