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

When highly stretched, double-stranded DNA exhibits a plateau region in its force-extension curve. Using a bead-spring coarse-grained dynamic model based on a nonconvex potential, we predict that a long double-stranded DNA fragment made of several consecutive segments with substantially different plateau force values for each segment will exhibit multiple distinct plateau regions in the force-extension curve under physiologically relevant solvent conditions. For example, a long composite double-stranded (ds) DNA fragment consisting of two equal-length segments characterized by two different plateau force values, such as the poly(dA-dT)-poly(dG-dC) fragment, is predicted to exhibit two distinct plateau regions in its force-extension curve; a long composite dsDNA fragment consisting of three segments having three different plateau force values is predicted to have three distinct plateau regions. The formation of mixed states of slightly and highly stretched DNA, coexisting with macroscopically distinct phases of uniformly stretched DNA is also predicted. When one of the segments overstretches, the extensions of the segments can differ drastically. For example, for the poly(dA-dT)-poly(dG-dC) composite fragment, in the middle of the first plateau, 96.7% of the total extension of the fragment (relative to
