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

Lipids, like phosphoinositides, can be visualized in living cells in real time using genetically encoded biosensors and fluorescence microscopy. Sensor localization can be quantified by determining the fluorescence intensity of each fluorophore. Enrichment of lipids at membranes can be determined by generating and applying an organelle-specific binary mask. In this chapter, we provide a detailed list of reagents and methods to visualize and quantify relative lipid levels. Applying this approach, changes in lipid levels can be assessed in cases when lipid metabolizing enzymes are mutated or otherwise altered.
