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

Cell quantification is widely used in basic or applied research. The current sensitive methods of cell quantification are exclusively based on the analysis of non-fixed cells and do not allow the simultaneous detection of various cellular components. A fast, sensitive and cheap method of the quantification of fixed adherent cells is described here. It is based on the incubation of DAPI- or Hoechst 33342-stained cells in a solution containing SDS. The presence of SDS results in the quick de-staining of DNA and simultaneously, in an up-to-1,000-fold increase of the fluorescence intensity of the used dyes. This increase can be attributed to the micelle formation of SDS. The method is sufficiently sensitive to reveal around 50-70 human diploid cells. It is compatible with immunocytochemical detections, the detection of DNA replication and cell cycle analysis by image cytometry. The procedure was successfully tested for the analysis of cytotoxicity. The method is suitable for the quantification of cells exhibiting low metabolic activity including senescent cells. The developed procedure provides high linearity and the signal is high for at least 20 days at room temperature. Only around 90 to 120 minutes is required for the procedure's completion.
