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

Organelles represent the scale of organization immediately below that of the cell itself, and their composition, size, and number are tailored to their function. Monitoring the size and number of organelles in live cells is relevant for many applications but can be challenging due to their highly heterogeneous properties. Image correlation spectroscopy is a well-established analysis method capable of extracting the average size and number of particles in images. However, when image correlation spectroscopy is applied to a highly heterogeneous system, it can fail to retrieve, from a single correlation function, the characteristic size and the relative amount associated to each subspecies. Here, we describe a fast, unbiased, and fit-free algorithm based on the phasor analysis of multiple local image correlation functions, capable of mapping the sizes of elements contained in a heterogeneous system. The method correctly provides the size and number of separate subspecies, which otherwise would be hidden in the average properties of a single correlation function. We apply the method to quantify the spatial and temporal heterogeneity in the size and number of intracellular vesicles formed after endocytosis in live cells.
