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

Intraluminal valves of collecting lymphatic vessels ensure unidirectional lymph transport against hydrostatic pressure gradient. Mouse mesentery harbors up to 800 valves and represents a convenient model for lymphatic valve quantification, high resolution imaging of different stages of valve development as well as for analysis of valve function. The protocol describes embryonic and postnatal mesenteric lymphatic vessel preparation for whole-mount immunofluorescent staining and visualization of valve organization, quantification of main morphological parameters such as valve size and leaflet length, and the quantitative assessment of functional properties of adult valves using back-leak and closure tests.
