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 binding of ligands to receptors within a nanoscale small space is relevant in biology, biosensing, and affinity filtration. Binding in confinement can be studied with biological systems but under the limitation that essential parameters cannot be easily controlled including receptor type and position within the confinement and its dimensions. Here we study molecular recognition with a synthetic confined nanopore with controllable pore dimension and molecular DNA receptors at different depth positions within the channel. Binding of a complementary DNA strand is studied at the single-molecule level with atomic force microscopy. Following the analysis, kinetic association rates are lower for receptors positioned deeper inside the pore lumen while dissociation is faster and requires less force. The phenomena are explained by the steric constraints on molecular interactions in confinement. Our study is the first to explore recognition in DNA nanostructures with atomic force microscopy and lays out new tools to further quantify the effect of nanoconfinement on molecular interactions.
