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

Quantitative experimental studies of the thermodynamics with which biopolymers interact with specific surfaces remain quite limited. In response, here we describe experimental and theoretical studies of the change in folding free energy that occurs when a simple biopolymer, a DNA stem-loop, is site-specifically attached to a range of chemically distinct surfaces generated via self-assembled monolayer formation on a gold electrode. Not surprisingly, the extent to which surface attachment alters the biopolymer's folding free energy depends strongly on the charge of the surface, with increasingly negatively charged surfaces leading to increased destabilization. A simple model that considers only the excluded volume and electrostatic repulsion generated by the surface and models the ionic environment above the surface as a continuum quantitatively recovers the observed free energy change associated with attachment to weakly charged negative surfaces. For more strongly charged negative surfaces a model taking into account the discrete size of the involved ions is required. Our studies thus highlight the important role that electrostatics can play in the physics of surface-biomolecule interactions.
