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

Activation of T lymphocytes by antigen-presenting cells (APC) results in the formation of an immunological synapse. Following contact with the target cell, key signaling and adhesion molecules polarize within minutes to hours to the T cell-APC interface. Multispectral imaging flow cytometry, a new technology which combines flow cytometry with imaging, was used to visualize and quantify the recruitment of the CD3epsilon and Lck signaling molecules during the evolution of an immune synapse. Using this technology, thousands of T cell/macrophage conjugates could be analyzed for each experimental time point. Following Ca++ triggered T cell activation, the dynamics of Lck and CD3epsilon recruitment to the synapse, analyzed by two independent methods, were comparable. However, CD3epsilon exhibited longer residence times (>8 min) at the synapse than Lck.
