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

Intravital microscopy is an imaging technique aimed at the visualization of the dynamics of biological processes in live animals. In the last decade, the development of nonlinear optical microscopy has enormously increased the use of this technique, thus addressing key biological questions in different fields such as immunology, neurobiology and tumor biology. In addition, new upcoming strategies to minimize motion artifacts due to animal respiration and heartbeat have enabled the visualization in real time of biological processes at cellular and subcellular resolution. Recently, intravital microscopy has been applied to analyze different aspect of mucosal immunity in the gut. However, the majority of these studies have been performed on the small intestine. Although crucial aspects of the biology of this organ have been unveiled, the majority of intestinal pathologies in humans occur in the large intestine.Here, we describe a method to surgically expose and stabilize the large intestine in live mice and to perform short-term (up to 2 h) intravital microscopy.
