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

Analyzing specialized cells in heterogeneous tissues is crucial for understanding organ function in health and disease. Thus far, however, there has been no convenient method for studying gene expression in cells purified by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) using intracellular markers. Here we show that the quantitative nuclease protection assay (qNPA) enables transcriptional analysis of intracytoplasmically stained cells sorted by FACS. Applying the method to mouse pancreatic islet-cell subsets, we detected both expected and unknown lineage-specific gene expression patterns. Some beta cells from pregnant animals were found to express Mafb, previously observed only in immature beta cells during embryonic development. The four 'housekeeping' genes tested were expressed in purified islet-cell subpopulations with a notable variability, dependent on both cell lineage and developmental stage. Application of qNPA to intracellularly stained, FACS-sorted cells should be broadly applicable to the analysis of gene expression in subpopulations of any heterogeneous tissue, including tumors.
