Temperature-dependent elastic properties of DNA.
Article in Biophysical reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Knowledge of the elastic properties, e.g., the persistence length or interphosphate distance, of single-stranded (ss) and double-stranded (ds) DNA under different experimental conditions is critical to characterizing molecular reactions studied with single-molecule techniques. While previous experiments have addressed the dependence of the elastic parameters upon varying ionic strength and contour length, temperature-dependent effects are less studied. Here, we examine the temperature-dependent elasticity of ssDNA and dsDNA in the range 5°C-50°C using a temperature-jump optical trap. We find a temperature softening for dsDNA and a temperature stiffening for ssDNA. Our results highlight the need for a general theory explaining the phenomenology observed.
