Thermal and inertial resonances in DNA unzipping.
Article in The European physical journal. E, Soft matter, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 experiments combined with alternate forces are able to provide useful information not present in standard constant-force and -velocity pulling protocols. Here, we study the effects of such forces in the DNA mechanical unzipping by using an extension of the Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois model. By changing the damping regime in the dynamical equations, we obtained two resonant mechanisms in both the mean time and the mean force of unzipping. One is thermally assisted and it is characterized by a matching between the period of the external force and the mean unzipping time of the DNA chain, while the other depends on the inertial properties of the system. Both mechanisms are studied systematically under different opening protocols and different parameters of the system. The main results here presented contribute in characterizing and finding optimized conditions in DNA unzipping experiments.
