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

In order to apply optical tweezers-based force measurements within an uncharacterized viscoelastic medium such as the cytoplasm of a living cell, a quantitative calibration method that may be applied in this complex environment is needed. We describe an improved version of the fluctuation-dissipation-theorem calibration method, which has been developed to perform in situ calibration in viscoelastic media without prior knowledge of the trapped object. Using this calibration procedure, it is possible to extract values of the medium's viscoelastic moduli as well as the force constant describing the optical trap. To demonstrate our method, we calibrate an optical trap in water, in polyethylene oxide solutions of different concentrations, and inside living fission yeast (S. pombe).
