If string theory is correct, then our observable Universe may be a 3-dimensional "brane" embedded in a higher-dimensional spacetime. This theoretical scenario should be tested via the state-of-the-art in gravitational experiments -- the current and upcoming gravity-wave detectors. Indeed, the existence of extra dimensions leads to oscillations that leave a spectroscopic signature in the gravity-wave signal from black holes. The detectors that have been designed to confirm Einstein's prediction of gravity waves, can in principle also provide tests and constraints on string theory.

Gravitational waves from a binary source in higher dimensional spacetime with compactified extra dimensions
The claimed -1PN correction to the binary equations of motion is an artifact of an invalid expansion and never becomes larger than the Newtonian term, per the paper's own Eq. (97).
