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

Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) reports on protein organization in cells with near-molecular resolution and in combination with stoichiometric labeling enables protein counting. Fluorescent proteins allow stoichiometric labeling of cellular proteins; however, most methods either lead to overexpression or are complex and time demanding. We introduce CRISPR/Cas12a for simple and efficient tagging of endogenous proteins with a photoactivatable protein for quantitative SMLM and single-particle tracking. We constructed a HEK293T cell line with the receptor tyrosine kinase MET tagged with mEos4b and demonstrate full functionality. We determine the oligomeric state of MET with quantitative SMLM and find a reorganization from monomeric to dimeric MET upon ligand stimulation. In addition, we measured the mobility of single MET receptors
