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

In this paper, we explore the robustness and sensitivity of Gd(III)-Gd(III) double electron-electron resonance (DEER) distance measurements in proteins for different spectrometer designs and three spin labels. To do this a protein was labeled at the same two positions with Gd(III) spin labels and measurements were performed on two home-built high-frequency (W-band, ~ 95 GHz) EPR spectrometers with different design approaches, and a commercial 150 W Q-band (34 GHz) spectrometer. The first W-band measurement approach uses a conventional, narrow band single mode cavity, while the second uses a broadband non-resonant induction mode sample holder. Both systems incorporate advanced arbitrary waveform generators (AWGs) that give flexibility over excitation bandwidth. We use three DOTA-like Gd(III) spin labels, Gd.C12, Gd.DO3A and Gd.L Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s00723-024-01741-0.
