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

Current in vitro optical studies of microtubule dynamics tend to rely on fluorescent labeling of tubulin, with tracking accuracy thereby limited by the quantum yield of fluorophores and by photobleaching. Here, we demonstrate label-free tracking of microtubules with nanometer precision at kilohertz frame rates using interferometric scattering microscopy (iSCAT). With microtubules tethered to a glass substrate using low-density kinesin, we readily detect sequential 8 nm steps in the microtubule center of mass, characteristic of a single kinesin molecule moving a microtubule. iSCAT also permits dynamic changes in filament length to be measured with <5 nm precision. Using the arbitrarily long observation time enabled by label-free iSCAT imaging, we demonstrate continuous monitoring of microtubule disassembly over a 30 min period. The ability of iSCAT to track microtubules with nm precision together with its potential for label-free single protein detection and simultaneous single molecule fluorescence imaging represent a unique platform for novel approaches to studying microtubule dynamics.
