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

Solid-state nanopores provide a highly sensitive tool for single-molecule sensing and probing nanofluidic effects in solutions. Glass nanopipettes are a cheap and robust type of solid-state nanopore produced from pulling glass capillaries with opening orifice diameters down to below tens of nanometers. Sub-50 nm nanocapillaries allow an unprecedented resolution for translocating single molecules or for scanning ion conductance microscopy imaging. Due to the small opening orifice diameters, such nanocapillaries are difficult to fill with solutions, compromising their advantages of low cost, availability, and experimental simplicity. We present a simple and cheap method to reliably fill nanocapillaries down to sub-10 nm diameters by microwave radiation heating. Using a large statistic of filled nanocapillaries, we determine the filling efficiency and physical principle of the filling process using sub-50 nm quartz nanocapillaries. Finally, we have used multiple nanocapillaries filled by our method for high-resolution scanning ion conductance microscopy imaging.
