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

A multitude of membrane-localized receptors are utilized by cells to integrate both biochemical and physical signals from their microenvironment. The clustering of membrane receptors is widely presumed to have functional consequences for subsequent signal transduction. However, it is experimentally challenging to selectively manipulate receptor clustering without altering other biochemical aspects of the cellular system. Here, we describe a method to fabricate multicomponent, ligand-functionalized microarrays, for spatially segregated and simultaneous monitoring of receptor activation and signaling in individual living cells. While existing micropatterning techniques allow for the display of fixed ligands, this protocol uniquely allows for functionalization of both mobile membrane corrals and immobile polymers with selective ligands, as well as microscopic monitoring of cognate receptor activation at the cell membrane interface. This protocol has been developed to study the effects of clustering on EphA2 signaling transduction. It is potentially applicable to multiple cell signaling systems, or microbe/host interactions.
