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

The binding mechanism of thioflavin T (ThT) to DNA was studied using polarized light spectroscopy and fluorescence-based techniques in solutions and in solid films. Linear dichroism measurements showed that ThT binds to DNA duplex by intercalation. Time-resolved fluorescence studies revealed a second binding mode which is the external binding to the DNA phosphate groups. Both binding modes represent the nonspecific type of interactions. The studies were complemented with the analysis of short oligonucleotides having DNA cavities. The results indicate that the interplay between three binding modes-intercalation, external binding, and binding inside DNA cavities-determines the effective fluorescence quantum yield of the dye in the DNA structures. External binding was found to be responsible for fluorescence quenching because of energy transfer between intercalated and externally bound molecules. Finally, amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) was successfully generated in the ThT-stained films and used for detecting different DNA structures. ASE measurements show that ThT-stained DNA structures can be used for designing bioderived microlasers.
