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

For nanopore sensing of various-sized molecules with high sensitivity, the size of the nanopore should be adjusted according to the size of each target molecule. For solid-state nanopores, a simple and inexpensive nanopore fabrication method utilizing dielectric breakdown of a membrane is widely used. This method is suitable for fabricating a small nanopore. However, it suffers two serious problems when attempting to fabricate a large nanopore: the generation of multiple nanopores and the non-opening failure of a nanopore. In this study, we found that nanopore fabrication by dielectric breakdown of a SiN membrane under high-pH conditions (pH ≥ 11.3) could overcome these two problems and enabled the formation of a single large nanopore up to 40 nm in diameter within one minute. Moreover, the ionic-current blockades derived from streptavidin-labelled and non-labelled DNA passing through the fabricated nanopore were clearly distinguished. The current blockades caused by streptavidin-labelled DNA could be identified even when its concentration is 1% of the total DNA.
