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

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), which are precursors of endothelial cells (ECs), have the capacity to circulate, proliferate and differentiate into mature ECs. EPCs are primarily identified by the uptake of 1,1-dioctadecyl-3,3,3,3-tetramethylindocarbocyanine-labelled acetylated low-density lipoprotein (Dil-acLDL) and the binding of fluorescein-isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated Ulex europaeus agglutinin lectin (FITC-UEA-I). However, the cytoplasm and nucleus are usually stained by FITC-UEA-I via a typical method to double-stain late EPCs. It is necessary to explore a new method to improve the quality of fluorescence photomicrographs of late EPCs stained with FITC-UEA-I. Here, we described an updated protocol for double-staining late EPCs with Dil-acLDL and FITC-UEA-I, with the cells more optimally stained with FITC-UEA-I.
