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

None of the current superresolution microscopy techniques can reliably image the changes in endogenous protein nanoclustering dynamics associated with specific conformations in live cells. Single-domain nanobodies have been invaluable tools to isolate defined conformational states of proteins, and we reasoned that expressing these nanobodies coupled to single-molecule imaging-amenable tags could allow superresolution analysis of endogenous proteins in discrete conformational states. Here, we used anti-GFP nanobodies tagged with photoconvertible mEos expressed as intrabodies, as a proof-of-concept to perform single-particle tracking on a range of GFP proteins expressed in live cells, neurons, and small organisms. We next expressed highly specialized nanobodies that target conformation-specific endogenous β
