Image correlation spectroscopy of randomly distributed disks.
Article in Journal of biological physics, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Image correlation spectroscopy (ICS) has been widely used to quantify spatiotemporal distributions of fluorescently labelled cell membrane proteins and receptors. When the membrane proteins are randomly distributed, ICS may be used to estimate protein densities, provided the proteins behave as point-like objects. At high protein area fraction, however, even randomly placed proteins cannot obey Poisson statistics, because of excluded area. The difficulty can arise if the protein effective area is quite large, or if proteins form large complexes or aggregate into clusters. In these cases, there is a need to determine the correct form of the intensity correlation function for hard disks in two dimensions, including the excluded area effects. We present an approximate but highly accurate algorithm for the computation of this correlation function. The correlation function was verified using test images of randomly distributed hard disks of uniform intensity convolved with the microscope point spread function. This algorithm can be readily modified to compute exact intensity correlation functions for any probe geometry, interaction potential, and fluorophore distribution; we show how to apply it to describe a random distribution of large proteins labeled with a single fluorophore.
