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

Molecular communication across physical barriers requires pores to connect the environments on either side and discriminate between the diffusants. Here we use porous virus-like particles (VLPs) derived from bacteriophage P22 to investigate the range of molecule sizes able to gain access to its interior. Although there are cryo-EM models of the VLP, they may not accurately depict the parameters of the molecules able to pass across the pores due to the dynamic nature of the P22 particles in the solution. After encapsulating the enzyme AdhD within the P22 VLPs, we use a redox reaction involving PAMAM dendrimer modified NADH/NAD+ to examine the size and charge limitations of molecules entering P22. Utilizing the three different accessible morphologies of the P22 particles, we determine the effective pore sizes of each and demonstrate that negatively charged substrates diffuse across more readily when compared to those that are neutral, despite the negatively charge exterior of the particles.
