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

We report the development of in vivo subcellular high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) for proteo-metabolomic molecular systems biology in complex tissues. With light microscopy, we identified the left-dorsal and left-ventral animal cells in cleavage-stage non-sentient Xenopus laevis embryos. Using precision-translated fabricated microcapillaries, the subcellular content of each cell was double-probed, each time swiftly (<5 s/event) aspirating <5 % of cell volume (≈10 nL). The proteins and metabolites were analyzed by home-built ultrasensitive capillary electrophoresis electrospray ionization employing orbitrap or time-of-flight HRMS. Label-free detection of ≈150 metabolites (57 identified) and 738 proteins found proteo-metabolomic networks with differential quantitative activities between the cell types. With spatially and temporally scalable sampling, the technology preserved the integrity of the analyzed cells, the neighboring cells, and the embryo. 95 % of the analyzed embryos developed into sentient tadpoles that were indistinguishable from their wild-type siblings based on anatomy and visual function in a background color preference assay.
