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

Protein labeling with green fluorescent protein derivatives has become an invaluable tool in cell biology. Protein quantification, however, is difficult when cells express constructs with overlapping fluorescent emissions. Under these conditions, signal separation using emission filters is inherently inefficient. Spectral imaging solves this problem by recording emission spectra directly. Unfortunately, linear unmixing, the algorithm used for quantifying individual fluorophores from emission spectra, fails when resonance energy transfer (RET) is present. We therefore sought to develop an unmixing algorithm that incorporates RET. An equation for spectral emission incorporating RET was derived and an assay based on this formalism, spectral RET (sRET), was developed. Standards with defined RET efficiencies and with known Cerulean/Venus ratios were constructed and used to test sRET. We demonstrate that sRET analysis is a comprehensive, photon-efficient method for imaging RET efficiencies and accurately determines donor and acceptor concentrations in living cells.
