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

The establishment of apicobasal or planar cell polarity involves many events that occur at or near the plasma membrane including focal adhesion dynamics, endocytosis, exocytosis, and cytoskeletal reorganization. It is desirable to visualize these events without interference from other regions deeper within the cell. Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy utilizes an elegant optical sectioning approach to visualize fluorophores near the sample-coverslip interface. TIRF provides high-contrast fluorescence images with limited background and virtually no out-of-focus light, ideal for visualizing and tracking dynamics near the plasma membrane. In this chapter, we present a general experimental and analysis TIRF pipeline for studying cell surface receptor endocytosis. The approach presented can be easily applied to study other dynamic biological processes at or near the plasma membrane using TIRF microscopy.
