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

Several cell death assays have been developed based on a single biochemical parameter such as caspase activation or plasma membrane permeabilization. Our fluorescent apoptosis/necrosis (FAN) assay directly measures cell death and distinguishes between caspase-dependent apoptosis and caspase-independent necrosis of cells grown in any multiwell plate. Cell death is monitored in standard growth medium as an increase in fluorescence intensity of a cell-impermeable dye (SYTOX Green) after plasma membrane disintegration, whereas apoptosis is detected through caspase-mediated release of a fluorophore from its quencher (DEVD-amc). The assay determines the normalized percentage of dead cells and caspase activation per condition as an end-point measurement or in real time (automated). The protocol can be applied to screen drugs, proteins or siRNAs for interference with cell death while simultaneously detecting cell death modality switching between apoptosis and necrosis. Initial preparation may take up to 5 d, but the typical hands-on time is ∼2 h.
