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

Time-lapse fluorescence microscopy is a powerful tool to study gene regulation. By probing fluorescent signals in single cells over extended period of time, this method can be used to study the dynamics, noise, movement, memory, inheritance, and coordination, of gene expression during cell growth, development, and differentiation. In combination with a flow-cell device, it can also measure gene regulation by external stimuli. Due to the single cell nature and the spatial/temporal capacity, this method can often provide information that is hard to get using other methods. Here, we review the standard experimental procedures and new technical developments in this field.
