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

Resolving coordinated biomolecular interactions in living cellular environments is vital for understanding the mechanisms of molecular nanomachines. The conventional approach relies on localizing and tracking target biomolecules and/or subcellular organelles labeled with imaging probes. However, it is challenging to gain information on rotational dynamics, which can be more indicative of the work done by molecular motors and their dynamic binding status. Herein, a bifocal parallax single-particle tracking method using half-plane point spread functions has been developed to resolve the full-range azimuth angle (0-360°), polar angle, and three-dimensional (3D) displacement in real time under complex living cell conditions. Using this method, quantitative rotational and translational motion of the cargo in a 3D cell cytoskeleton was obtained. Not only were well-known active intracellular transport and free diffusion observed, but new interactions (tight attachment and tethered rotation) were also discovered for better interpretation of the dynamics of cargo-motor-track interactions at various types of microtubule intersections.
