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

Open science is now established as an important paradigm for publicly funded research. The main principle being that to ensure best use of research data and integrity of the scientific process the information from experiments should be made widely and freely available. However, dedicated technical infrastructure to enable useful access to comprehensive experimental information in molecular biophysics is lacking, in particular in regard to repositories for raw measurement data. The Molecular Biophysics Database (MBDB) was created to fill this gap. The MBDB provides a common and extensible framework to store and access raw measurement data from a growing number of biophysical methods, currently including bio-layer interferometry, isothermal titration calorimetry, surface plasmon resonance, and microscale thermophoresis, with additional methods planned for the future. Alongside the raw measurement data from these methods, a rich set of metadata to enable data reuse is captured in accordance with the FAIR data management principles. An overview of the data models and technologies that were used to create the MBDB is presented here.
