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

Gap junction (GJ) research has entered a new stage focusing the concerted dynamic behavior of multiple isoforms of connexin (Cx) in the cell membrane, cytosolic vesicles, and space between them. To proceed with this research, imaging technologies are important. Here we describe two novel protocols for this purpose. At first, the adoption of a small motif of Cys-Cys-X-X-Cys-Cys as a visualization tag is described. An As complex, FlAsH, can bind to this tetra-Cys (TC) tag to form a fluorescent conjugate. Its introduction into the C-terminal of Cx43 is demonstrated. Next, a novel triangle chip for the accurate x-y registration is described. Target single cells of HeLa marked with a fluorescent dye can be easily recognized by electron microscopy based on this chip.
