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

With the rapid increase and accessibility of high-resolution imaging technologies of cells, the interpretation of results relies more and more on the assumption that the three-dimensional integrity of the surrounding cellular landscape is not compromised by the experimental setup. However, the only available technology for directly probing the structural integrity of whole-cell preparations at the nanoscale is electron cryo-tomography, which is time-consuming, costly, and complex. We devised an accessible, inexpensive and reliable screening assay to quickly report on the compatibility of experimental protocols with preserving the structural integrity of whole-cell preparations at the nanoscale. Our Rapid Cell Integrity Assessment (RCIA) assay is executed at room temperature and relies solely on light microscopy imaging. Using cellular electron cryo-tomography as a benchmark, we verify that RCIA accurately unveils the adverse impact of reagents and/or protocols such as those used for virus inactivation or to arrest dynamic processes on the cellular nanoarchitecture.
