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

Optical tweezers enable us to measure the force generated by bacterial motility and motor proteins. Here, we describe a method, using optical tweezers and related techniques, to measure the force generated during Mycoplasma gliding. An avidin-conjugated polystyrene bead trapped by a focused laser beam is bound to the surface-biotinylated Mycoplasma cell, which pulls the bead from the trap center of the laser. The force generated by Mycoplasma is calculated from a displacement measured and a spring constant of the laser trap.
