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

Nanopore technology holds remarkable promise for sequencing proteins and peptides. To achieve this, it is necessary to establish a characteristic profile for each individual amino acid through the statistical description of its translocation process. However, the subtle molecular differences among all twenty amino acids along with their unpredictable conformational changes at the nanopore sensing region result in very low distinguishability. Here we report the electrical sensing of individual amino acids using an α-hemolysin nanopore based on a derivatization strategy. Using derivatized amino acids as detection surrogates not only prolongs their interactions with the sensing region, but also improves their conformational variation. Furthermore, we show that distinct characteristics including current blockades and dwell times can be observed among all three classes of amino acids after 2,3-naphthalenedicarboxaldehyde (NDA)- and 2-naphthylisothiocyanate (NITC)-derivatization, respectively. These observable characteristics were applied towards the identification and differentiation of 9 of the 20 natural amino acids using their NITC derivatives. The method demonstrated herein will pave the way for the identification of all amino acids and further protein and peptide sequencing.
