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

The retina is a powerful experimental system for the analysis of angiogenic blood vessel growth in the postnatal organisms. The three-dimensional architecture of the vessel network and processes as diverse as endothelial cell (EC) proliferation, sprouting, perivascular cell recruitment, vessel remodeling or maturation can be investigated at high resolution. The characterization of physiological and pathological angiogenic processes in mice has been greatly facilitated by inducible and cell type-specific loss-of-function and gain-of-function genetics. In this paper, we provide a detailed protocol for tamoxifen-inducible gene deletion in neonatal mice, as well as for retina dissection, whole-mount immunostaining and the quantitation of EC sprouting and proliferation. These methods have been optimized by our laboratory and yield reliable results. The entire protocol takes approximately 10 d to complete.
