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

Long-lasting immunity depends on generation of antibody forming cells in germinal centers (GCs). Conventional methods such as immunohistology and intravital live imaging have been used extensively to investigate the location of cellular assemblies within tissues as well as their dynamic motility and cellular interactions. Two photon laser scanning microscopy (TPLSM) intravital imaging allows scanning of large areas within tissues and reveals multiple immune cell niches. Nonetheless, this type of imaging is limited by the depth of penetration and cannot capture effectively all of the GC niches within lymphoid organs. Here we describe a method to visualize antigen-specific T and B cells in multiple microanatomical locations and niches at the level of a whole organ. This large-scale imaging approach can greatly increase our understanding of the spatial distribution of immune cells and help obtain detailed 3D maps of their locations and quantities.
