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

Mass photometry (MP) is a powerful technique for studying biomolecular structures, interactions, and dynamics in solution. It detects and quantifies small reflectivity changes at a glass-water interface during protein (un)binding, with signals typically averaged over 100 ms. However, particle motion at the point of single-molecule measurement can compromise key metrics such as mass resolution, sensitivity, and concentration. We present a three-dimensional convolutional residual network trained via supervised learning to classify landing events based on their spatiotemporal dynamics. By analyzing 3D event thumbnails, our method isolates optimal single-molecule measurements, eliminating cumulative histogram artifacts and improving resolving power by up to a factor of 2. Validated across diverse experimental data sets, including resolved and partially resolved samples, and varying masses, concentrations, and integration times, our approach delivers robust performance under (sub)optimal conditions. Our approach also provides measurement-level data-driven feedback, facilitating high quality MP measurements in challenging scenarios.
