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 motile parameters of kinesin superfamily proteins are fundamental to intracellular transport. Single-molecule motility assays using total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy are a gold standard technique for measuring the motile parameters of kinesin motors. With this technique, one can evaluate the velocity, run length, and binding frequency of kinesins on microtubules by directly observing their motility. This protocol provides a comprehensive procedure for single molecule assays of kinesins, including the preparation of labeled microtubules, the measurement of kinesin motility via TIRF microscopy, and the quantification of kinesin motor parameters. Key features • Analysis of the motility of kinesin superfamily proteins using TIRF microscopy. • In vitro reconstitution using purified microtubules and motors. • Direct measurement of motile parameters of kinesins.
