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

In this study we present an optimized method of high-pressure freezing and automated freeze-substitution of cultured human cells, followed by LR White embedding, for subsequent immunolabeling. Also, the influence of various conditions of the freeze-substitution procedures such as temperature, duration, and additives in the substitution medium on the preservation of cryo-immobilized cells was analyzed. The recommended approach combines (1) automated freeze-substitution for high reproducibility and minimizing human-derived errors; (2) minimal addition of contrasting and fixing agents; (3) easy-to-use LR White resin for embedment; (4) good preservation of nuclei and nucleoli which are usually the most difficult structures to effectively vitrify and saturate in a resin; and (5) preservation of antigens for sensitive immunogold labeling.
