Physical origin of DNA unzipping.
Article in Journal of biological physics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In DNA transcription, the base pairs are unzipped in response to the enzymatic forces, separating apart two intertwined nucleotide strands. Consequently, the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), in which two nucleotide strands wind about each other, transits structurally to the single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) in which two nucleotide strands are completely unwound and separated. The large interstrand separation is intimately related to the softening nucleotide strands. This conceptual framework is reinforced with the flow of the bending modulus toward zero under recursion relations derived from the momentum shell renormalization group. Interestingly, the stretch modulus remains the same under recursion relations. The renormalization of the bending modulus to zero has a profound implication that ssDNA has the shorter bending persistence length than does dsDNA in accordance with experiments.
