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

Antibodies have two identical binding domains and can therefore form a well-defined conducting bridge by binding a pair of electrodes functionalized with an epitope. The conductance measured between these two fixed points on the antibody does not change with the size of the electrode gap. A second conduction path is via one specific attachment to an epitope and a second nonspecific attachment to the surface of the antibody. In this case, the conductance does change with gap size, yielding an estimated electronic decay length >6 nm, long enough that it is not possible to distinguish between an exponential or a hyperbolic distance dependence. This decay length is substantially greater than that measured for hopping transport in an organic molecular wire.
