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

Multiangle light scattering (MALS) was used to determine the absolute molar mass of fluorescent macromolecules. It is standard protocol to install bandwidth filters before MALS detectors to suppress detection of fluorescent emissions. Fluorescence can introduce tremendous error in light scattering measurements and is a formidable challenge in accurately characterizing fluorescent macromolecules and particles. However, we show that for some systems, bandwidth filters alone are insufficient for blocking fluorescence in molar mass determinations. For these systems, we have devised a correction procedure to calculate the amount of fluorescence interference in the filtered signal. By determining the intensity of fluorescent emission not blocked by the bandwidth filters, we can correct the filtered signal accordingly and accurately determine the true molar mass. The transmission rates are calculated before MALS experimentation using emission data from standard fluorimetry techniques, allowing for the characterization of unknown samples. To validate the correction procedure, we synthesized fluorescent dye-conjugated proteins using an IR800CW (LI-COR) fluorophore and Bovine Serum Albumin protein. We successfully eliminated fluorescence interference in MALS measurements using this approach. This correction procedure has potential application toward more accurate molar mass characterizations of macromolecules with intrinsic fluorescence, such as lignins, fluorescent proteins, fluorescence-tagged proteins, and optically active nanoparticles.
