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

While the roles of biomolecular condensates in health and disease are being intensely studied, it is equally important that their physical properties are characterized in order to achieve mechanistic understanding. Here we share some of the protocols developed in our lab for measuring thermodynamic and materials properties of condensates. These include a simple method for determining the droplet-phase concentrations of condensate components on a confocal microscope, and a method for determining the viscoelasticity of condensates by optical tweezers. These protocols are either generally applicable to biomolecular condensates or are unique for their characterization.
