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

Quantitative fluorescence-based methods have been developed to determine the nuclear concentration of polyamide-fluorescein conjugates in cell culture. Confocal laser scanning microscopy and flow cytometry techniques are utilized to plot calibration curves, from which the nuclear concentration can be interpolated. Upon treatment with polyamide, the concentration in the nucleus of live HeLa cells is calculated to be between 0.1 and 0.5microM, which is significantly lower than the 2microM dosage concentration. In contrast, the observed nuclear concentration in U251 cells is closer to the dosage concentration, indicating a cell line-specific increase in uptake for this class of compounds. Although confocal microscopy and flow cytometry generate disparate values, taken together these experiments suggest that the polyamide concentration inside the cell nucleus is lower than it is outside the cell.
