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

In biomedical research, indirect immunofluorescence labelling by use of primary and secondary antibodies is central for revealing the spatial distribution of multiple cellular antigens. However, labelling is regularly restricted to few antigens since species variation of primary and corresponding secondary antibodies is limited bearing the risk of unspecific cross-labelling. Here, we introduce a novel microscopic procedure for leveraging undesirable cross-labelling effects among secondary antibodies thereby increasing the number of fluorophore channels. Under cross-labelling conditions, commonly used fluorophores change chemical-physical properties by 'Förster resonance energy transfer' leading to defined changes in spectral emission and lifetime decay. By use of spectral fluorescence lifetime imaging and pattern-matching, we demonstrate precise separation of cross-labelled cellular antigens where conventional imaging completely fails. Consequently, this undesired effect serves for an innovative imaging procedure to separate critical antigens where antibody species variation is limited and allows for multi-target labelling by attribution of new fluorophore cross-labelling channels.
