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

To achieve DNA sequencing with solid-state nanopores, the speed of the DNA in the nanopore must be controlled to obtain sequence-specific signals. In this study, we fabricated a nanopore-sensing system equipped with a DNA motion controller. DNA strands were immobilized on a Si probe, and approach of this probe to the nanopore vicinity could be controlled using a piezo actuator and stepper motor. The area of the Si probe was larger than the area of the membrane, which meant that the immobilized DNA could enter the nanopore without the need for the probe to scan to determine the location of the nanopore in the membrane. We demonstrated that a single-stranded DNA could be inserted into and removed from a nanopore in our experimental system. The number of different ionic-current levels observed while DNA remained in the nanopore corresponded to the number of different types of homopolymers in the DNA.
