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

backgroundThe analysis and isolation of high numbers of chromosomes smaller than 3 Mb in size (microchromosomes) with good purity is dependent primarily on the detection sensitivity of the flow cytometer and the precision of the sort unit. The aim of this study was to investigate the capability of using a conventional flow cytometer for the detection and sorting at high purity microchromosomes with an estimated size of 2.7 Mb.

methodsChromosomes were isolated from a human cell line containing a pair of X-derived microchromosomes, using a modified polyamine isolation buffer. The chromosome preparation was labeled with Hoechst and Chromomycin and analyzed and purified using a MoFlo sorter (DAKO) configured for high-speed sorting. The purity of the flow-sorted microchromosomes was assessed by reverse chromosome painting.

resultsImproved resolution of the peak of microchromosomes in a bivariate plot of Hoechst versus Chromomycin fluorescence was obtainable after discriminating clumps and debris based on gating data within a FSC versus pulse width plot.

conclusionsChromosomes of smaller size, less than 3 Mb, can be detected with high resolution and flow-sorted with high purity using a conventional flow sorter.
