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

Whole planarian chromosome squash allows researchers to qualitatively analyze chromosome integrity. Treatment with colchicine is used to halt dividing cells within metaphase and does not require amputation or tissue puncturing. In combination with acetic-orcein, a stain-fixative for chromosomes, this strategy is suitable for animals with friable tissues caused by drug treatment, radiation, and RNA interference phenotypes. The whole planarian squash method presented here is a minimally invasive procedure that facilitates simultaneous analysis of chromosomal integrity in control and experimental animals. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Peiris et al. (2016).
