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

Nucleic acids are central to the storage and transmission of genetic information and play essential roles in many cellular processes. Quantitative understanding and modeling of their functions and properties requires quantitative experimental characterization. We use magnetic tweezers (MT) to apply precisely calibrated stretching forces and linking number changes to DNA and RNA molecules tethered between a surface and superparamagnetic beads. Magnetic torque tweezers (MTT) allow to control the linking number of double-stranded DNA or RNA tethers, while directly measuring molecular torque by monitoring changes in the equilibrium rotation angle upon over- or underwinding of the helical molecules. Here, we provide a comprehensive data set of double-stranded DNA and RNA under controlled stretching as a function of the linking number. We present data for extension and torque as a function of linking number in equilibrium. We report data for the critical torque of buckling and of the torsional stiffness of DNA and RNA as a function of applied force. Finally, we provide dynamic data for the hopping behavior at the DNA buckling point.
