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

The translocation of polymers through pores and channels is an archetypal process in biology and is widely studied and exploited for applications in bio- and nanotechnology. In recent times, the translocation of polymers of various different topologies has been studied both experimentally and by computer simulation. However, in some cases, a clear understanding of the precise mechanisms that drive their translocation dynamics can be challenging to derive. Experimental methods are able to provide statistical details of polymer translocation, but computer simulations are uniquely placed to uncover a finer level of mechanistic understanding. In this work, we use high-throughput molecular simulations to reveal the importance that knot insertion rates play in controlling translocation dynamics in the small pore limit, where unexpected nonpower law behavior emerges. This work both provides new predictive understanding of polycatenane translocation and shows the importance of carefully considering the role of the definition of translocation itself.
