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-cell electrophysiological recordings combined with dye loading and immunohistochemistry provide unparalleled single-cell resolution of cell physiology, morphology, location, and protein expression. When correlated with bulk RNA sequencing, these data can define cell identity and function. Here, we describe a protocol to prepare acute brain slices from embryonic and postnatal mice for whole-cell patch clamp, dye loading and post-hoc immunohistochemistry, and cell isolation for bulk RNA sequencing. While we focus on oligodendrocyte precursor cells, this protocol is applicable to other brain cells. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Spitzer et al. (2019).
