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

Photolytic uncaging of biologically-active molecules within cells is a powerful technique. However, the delivery of uncaging light into the cytosol can vary between cell types, individual cells of the same type, and different loci within an individual cell because of optical differences in absorbance and light-scattering properties of the cytoplasm. Here, we demonstrate a simple technique for monitoring the magnitude of cytosolic ultraviolet delivery during uncaging, which also leaves a quantitative and persistent record of this within the cells. The simple method shown here provides a much needed universal monitor of the delivery of ultraviolet light to molecules within the cytosol, providing a much needed parameter for the correct interpretation of uncaging experiments.
