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

Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is currently widely used in many applied areas of research, spanning protein-ligand binding, metal-ligand interactions, DNA/DNA or protein/DNA interactions, partition to membranes, and polymer surfactant interactions, to mention just a few. This is due to the availability of commercial instruments, and thus the production and spread of an accepted and widely followed SOP is felt by most users, in an effort to produce results that are scientifically correct and comparable. Therefore, within the efforts of Working Group 4 of the ARBRE-MOBIEU COST Action (CA15126), this ITC SOP was generated, alongside SOPs for several other biophysical techniques. Here, we discuss the factors that are fundamental for good experimental design and that need to be carefully considered, as well as machine calibration, in particular chemical calibration, linked to another outcome of Working Group 4 on ITC benchmarking, to be also published in this Special Issue.
