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

The pancreas is composed of different cellular populations, organized into distinct functional units, including acinar clusters, islets of Langerhans, and the ductal system. As a result of research into diabetes, several optical techniques have been developed for the three-dimensional visualization of islet populations, so as to better understand their anatomical characteristics. These approaches are largely reliant on three-dimensional whole-mount immunofluorescence staining. In this chapter, we review a revised whole mount immunofluorescence staining method for studying adult pancreatic islet morphology. This method uses smaller samples and combines the blocking and permeabilization steps. This reduces the time needed, relative to existing protocols; the method is compatible with regular confocal microscopy as well.
