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

Observing a single biomolecule performing its function is fundamental in biophysics as it provides important information for elucidating the mechanism. High-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) is a unique and powerful technique that allows the observation of biomolecular motion in a near-native environment. However, the spatial resolution of HS-AFM is limited by the physical size of the cantilever tip, which restricts the ability to obtain atomic details of molecules. In this study, we propose a novel computational algorithm designed to derive atomistic models of conformational dynamics from AFM images. Our method uses normal-mode analysis to describe the expected motions of the molecule, allowing these motions to be represented with a limited number of coordinates. This approach mitigates the problem of overinterpretation inherent in the analysis of AFM images with limited resolution. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm, NMFF-AFM, using synthetic data sets for three proteins that undergo significant conformational changes. NMFF-AFM is a fast and user-friendly program that requires minimal setup and has the potential to be a valuable tool for biophysical studies using HS-AFM.
