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 have been used to trap and micro-manipulate several biological specimens ranging from DNA, macromolecules, organelles, to single-celled organisms. Using a combination of the refraction and scattering of laser light from a focused laser beam, refractile objects are physically captured and can be moved within the surrounding media. The technique is routinely used to determine biophysical properties such as the forces exerted by motor proteins. Here, we describe how optical tweezers combined with total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRF) can be used to assess physical interactions between organelles, more specifically the ER and Golgi bodies in plant cells.
