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

Biological systems contain highly-ordered structures performing diverse functions. The elegant structures of biomachines have inspired the development of nanopores as single molecule sensors. Over the years, the utility of nanopores for detecting a wide variety of analytes have rapidly emerged for sensing, sequencing and diagnostic applications. Several protein channels with diverse shapes and sizes, such as motor channels from bacteriophage Phi29, SPP1, T3, and T4, as well as α-hemolysin, MspA, aerolysin, FluA, OmpF/G, CsgG, ClyA, have been continually investigated and developed as nanopores. Herein, we focus on advances in biological nanopores for single molecule sensing and DNA sequencing from a protein engineering standpoint for changing pore sizes, altering charge distributions, enhancing sensitivity, improving stability, and imparting new detection capabilities.
