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

The i-motif, a crucial noncanonical DNA structure, is prevalent in gene regulatory regions, yet its dynamics is challenging to probe. Here, we employ a wild-type α-hemolysin nanopore (α-HL) to sense the folding of a human telomeric i-motif. We demonstrate two distinct sensing paradigms: reversible i-motif collisions at the nanopore's β-barrel, producing transient current signatures, versus vestibule-first entry, yielding quasi-permanent blockades. The collision mode enables continuous i-motif dynamics monitoring, while vestibule entrapment provides ground for resolving pH-dependent volumetric changes in nanoconfinement with ∼nm
