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

The ability to confine and to study single molecules has enabled important advances in natural and applied sciences. Recently, we have shown that unlabeled proteins can be confined inside the biological nanopore Cytolysin A (ClyA) and conformational changes monitored by ionic current recordings. However, trapping small proteins remains a challenge. Here, we describe a system where steric, electrostatic, electrophoretic, and electro-osmotic forces are exploited to immobilize a small protein, dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), inside ClyA. Assisted by electrostatic simulations, we show that the dwell time of DHFR inside ClyA can be increased by orders of magnitude (from milliseconds to seconds) by manipulation of the DHFR charge distribution. Further, we describe a physical model that includes a double energy barrier and the main electrophoretic components for trapping DHFR inside the nanopore. Simultaneous fits to the voltage dependence of the dwell times allowed direct estimates of the
