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

Single-molecule orientation measurements provide unparalleled insight into a multitude of biological and polymeric systems. We report a simple, high-throughput technique for measuring the azimuthal orientation and rotational dynamics of single fluorescent molecules, which is compatible with localization microscopy. Our method involves modulating the polarization of an excitation laser, and analyzing the corresponding intensities emitted by single dye molecules and their modulation amplitudes. To demonstrate our approach, we use intercalating and groove-binding dyes to obtain super-resolved images of stretched DNA strands through binding-induced turn-on of fluorescence. By combining our image data with thousands of dye molecule orientation measurements, we develop a means of probing the structure of individual DNA strands, while also characterizing dye-DNA interactions. This approach may hold promise as a method for monitoring DNA conformation changes resulting from DNA-binding proteins.
