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

Single-particle tracking experiments have measured escape times of DNA-binding species diffusing in living cells: CRISPR-Cas9, TetR, and LacI. The observed distribution is a truncated power law. Working backward from the experimental results, the observed distribution appears inconsistent with a Gaussian distribution of binding energies. Working forward, the observed distribution leads to transient anomalous subdiffusion, in which diffusion is anomalous at short times and normal at long times, here only mildly anomalous. Monte Carlo simulations are used to characterize the time-dependent diffusion coefficient D(t) in terms of the anomalous exponent α, the crossover time t
