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

Carbocyanine dye diS-C3(3) was repeatedly employed in monitoring the plasma membrane potential of yeast and other living cells. Four methods of measuring and evaluating probe fluorescence signal were used in different studies, based on following fluorescence parameters: fluorescence intensity emitted within a certain spectral interval, F(580)/F(560) fluorescence emission ratio, wavelength of emission spectrum maximum, and the ratio of respective fluorescence intensities corresponding to the diS-C3(3) bound to cytosolic macromolecules and remaining dissolved in the aqueous cell medium (i.e., unbound, or free). Here we show that data corresponding to the three latter spectral assessments of diS-C3(3) accumulation in cells is mutually convertible, which means that their alternative use cannot lead to ambiguities in the interpretation of the results of biological experiments. On the other hand, experiments based on the effortless measurements of fluorescence intensities should be interpreted cautiously because controversial results can be obtained, depending on the particular choice of cell-to-dye concentration ratio and emission wavelength.
