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

Polymer translocation is utilized by cells, for example in mitochondrial import and protein degradation, and used in sensing and sequencing nanotechnologies. A polymer entering a nanopore from one side can either complete its translocation emerging on the other side or fail by returning to the same side where it has started. Motivated by recent experimental advances that succeeded in differentiating between such failed and successful translocation events, here we focus on the former. Using a model which views translocation as one-dimensional diffusive dynamics in an effective potential and describes the polymer escape into the bulk using radiation boundary conditions at the pore's entrance and exit, we derive analytical expressions for the distribution of the "span" of the incomplete translocation events (describing how far the system advances through the pore before turning back) and the average temporal duration of such events, both unconditional and conditional on its span.
