Ozsvath and Szabo conjectured that knot Floer homology detects fibred knots. We propose a strategy to approach this conjecture based on Gabai's theory of sutured manifold decomposition and contact topology. We implement this strategy for genus-one knots, obtaining as a corollary that, if rational surgery on a knot $K$ gives the Poincare homology sphere $\Sigma(2,3,5)$, then $K$ is the left-handed trefoil knot.
