Slowing down DNA translocation velocity using a LiCl salt gradient and nanofiber mesh.
Article in European biophysics journal : EBJ, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Solid-state nanopores are considered an attractive basis for single-molecule DNA sequencing. At present, one obstacle to be overcome is the improvement of their temporal resolution, with the DNA molecules remaining in the sensing volume of the nanopore for a long period of time. Here, we used a composite system of a concentration gradient of LiCl in solution and a nanofiber mesh to slow the DNA perforation speed. Compared to different alkali metal solutions with the same concentration, LiCl can extend the dwell time to 20 ms, five times longer than NaCl and KCl. Moreover, as the concentration gradient increases, the dwell time can be tuned from dozens of milliseconds to more than 100 ms. When we introduce a nanofiber mesh layer on top of the pore in the asymmetric solution, the DNA molecules get retarded by 162-185 [Formula: see text]s/nt, which is three orders of magnitude slower than the bare nanopore. At the same time, because the molecule absorption region becomes larger at the pore vicinity, the higher molecule capture rate improves the detection efficiency.
