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

Inspired by molecular motors in biology, there has been significant progress in building artificial molecular motors, using a number of quite distinct approaches. As the constructs become more sophisticated, there is also an increasing need to directly observe the motion of artificial motors at the nanoscale and to characterize their performance. Here, we review the most used methods that tackle those tasks. We aim to help experimentalists with an overview of the available tools used for different types of synthetic motors and to choose the method most suited for the size of a motor and the desired measurements, such as the generated force or distances in the moving system. Furthermore, for many envisioned applications of synthetic motors, it will be a requirement to guide and control directed motions. We therefore also provide a perspective on how motors can be observed on structures that allow for directional guidance, such as nanowires and microchannels. Thus, this Review facilitates the future research on synthetic molecular motors, where observations at a single-motor level and a detailed characterization of motion will promote applications.
