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

Standard analysis of fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) data is valid only if the quantum yield of unphotobleached fluorophores is independent of concentration, yet close molecular packing in two-dimensional systems may lead to significant fluorescence concentration quenching. Using total internal reflection fluorescence, we quantified the surface concentration dependence of the relative quantum yield of fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled proteins adsorbed to polymeric surfaces before performing measurements of fluorescence recovery after pattern photobleaching. Adsorbed layers of FITC-labeled ribonuclease A displayed significant concentration quenching, and thus the standard FRAP analysis method was unacceptable. We present an extended FRAP analysis procedure that accounts for the changing quantum yield of diffusing fluorophores in systems that are influenced by concentration quenching. The extended analysis shows that if concentration quenching conditions prevail, there may be significant error in the transport parameters obtained from FRAP measurements by using the standard procedures.
