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

Weak nonspecific interactions between biomacromolecules determine the cytoplasmic organization. Despite their importance, it is challenging to determine these interactions in the intracellular dense and heterogeneous mixture of biomacromolecules. Here, we develop a method to indicate electrostatic and hydrophobic associative interactions and map these interactions. The method relies on a genetically encoded probe containing a sensing peptide and a circularly permuted green fluorescent protein that provides a ratiometric readout. Inside bacterial and mammalian cells, we see that the cytoplasmic components interact strongly with cationic and hydrophobic probes but not with neutral hydrophilic probes, which remain inert. The
