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

Probing non-equilibrium dynamics with single-molecule spectroscopy is important for dissecting biomolecular mechanisms. However, existing microfluidic rapid-mixing systems for this purpose are incompatible with surface-adhesive biomolecules, exhibit undesirable flow dispersion and are often demanding to fabricate. Here we introduce droplet-based microfluidic mixing for single-molecule spectroscopy to overcome these limitations in a wide range of applications. We demonstrate its robust functionality with binding kinetics of even very surface-adhesive proteins on the millisecond timescale.
