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

Two fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based biosensor cell lines developed several years ago by the Diamond group (University of Texas, Southwestern) have allowed convenient, sensitive, and specific measurement of the intracellular aggregation of tau and α-synuclein following the addition of oligomer or small-aggregate "seeds" of these proteins from various sources, and an advancement relative to similar single-fluorophore systems. These biosensor cell lines allow researchers to both visualize the intracellular aggregates of tau or α-synuclein and measure intracellular aggregation with high sensitivity using a FRET signal in flow cytometry. Here we provide detailed protocols for generating seeds, culturing the biosensor cells, measuring intracellular aggregates by flow cytometry, and analyzing the results and discuss the utility of the technique with the aim of characterizing factors involved in the regulation of intracellular tau and α-synuclein aggregation.
