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

Solid-state nanopore technology presents an emerging single-molecule-based analytical tool for the separation and analysis of nanoparticles. Different approaches have been pursued to attain the anticipated detection performance. Here, we report the rectification behaviour of protein translocation through silicon-based truncated pyramidal nanopores. When the size of translocating proteins is comparable to the smallest physical constriction of the nanopore, the frequency of translocation events observed is lower for proteins that travel from the larger to the small opening of the nanopore than for those that travel in the reverse direction. When the proteins are appreciably smaller than the nanopore, an opposite rectification in the frequency of translocation events is evident. The maximum rectification factor achieved is around ten. Numerical simulations reveal the formation of an electro-osmotic vortex in such asymmetric nanopores. The vortex-protein interaction is found to play a decisive role in rectifying the translocation in terms of polarity and amplitude. The reported phenomenon can be potentially exploitable for the discrimination of various nanoparticles.
