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

In recent decades, atomic force microscopy (AFM), in particular the force spectroscopy mode, has become a method of choice to study biomolecular interactions at the single-molecule level. However, grafting procedures as well as determining binding specificity remain challenging. We report here an innovative approach based on a photocleavable group that enables in situ release of the ligands bound to the AFM tip and thus allows direct assessment of the binding specificity. Applicable to a wide variety of molecules, the strategy presented here provides new opportunities to study specific interactions and deliver single molecules with high spatiotemporal resolution in a wide range of applications, including AFM-based cell biology.
