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

Molecular interactions are often transient and might change within the window of observation, leading to changes in molecule movement. Therefore, accurate motion analysis often requires transient motion classification. Here we present an accurate and computationally efficient transient mobility analysis framework, termed "divide-and-conquer moment scaling spectrum" (DC-MSS). DC-MSS works in a multistep fashion: 1) it utilizes a local movement descriptor throughout a track to divide it into initial segments of putatively different motion classes; 2) it classifies these segments via moment scaling spectrum (MSS) analysis of molecule displacements; and 3) it uses the MSS analysis results to refine the track segmentation. This strategy uncouples the initial identification of motion switches from motion classification, allowing DC-MSS to circumvent the sensitivity-accuracy tradeoff of classic rolling window approaches for transient motion analysis, while at the same time harnessing the classification power of MSS analysis. Testing of DC-MSS demonstrates that it detects switches among free diffusion, confined diffusion, directed diffusion, and immobility with great sensitivity. To illustrate the utility of DC-MSS, we have applied it to single-particle tracks of the transmembrane protein CD44 on the surface of macrophages, revealing actin cortex-dependent transient mobility changes.
