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

Over the years, the amount of DNA in a nucleus (genome size) has been estimated using a variety of methods, but increasingly, flow cytometry (FCM) has become the method of choice. The popularity of this technique lies in the ease of sample preparation and in the large number of particles (i.e., nuclei) that can be analyzed in a very short period of time. This chapter presents a step-by-step guide to estimating the nuclear DNA content of plant nuclei using FCM. Attempting to serve as a tool for daily laboratory practice, we list, in detail, the equipment required, specific reagents and buffers needed, as well as the most frequently used protocols to carry out nuclei isolation. In addition, solutions to the most common problems that users may encounter when working with plant material and troubleshooting advice are provided. Finally, information about the correct terminology to use and the importance of obtaining chromosome counts to avoid cytological misinterpretations of the FCM data are discussed.
