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

Large DNA molecules (>20 kb) are difficult analytes prone to breakage during serial manipulations and cannot be 'rescued' as full-length amplicons. Accordingly, to present, modify and analyze arrays of large, single DNA molecules, we created an easily realizable approach offering gentle confinement conditions or immobilization via spermidine condensation for controlled delivery of reagents that support live imaging by epifluorescence microscopy termed 'Gel-Stacks.' Molecules are locally confined between two hydrogel surfaces without covalent tethering to support time-lapse imaging and multistep workflows that accommodate large DNA molecules. With a thin polyacrylamide gel layer covalently bound to a glass surface as the base and swappable, reagent-infused, agarose slabs on top, DNA molecules are stably presented for imaging during reagent delivery by passive diffusion.
