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

Subcellular mRNA quantities and spatial distributions are fundamental for driving gene regulatory programmes. Single molecule RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (smFISH) uses fluorescent probes to label individual mRNA molecules, thereby facilitating both localization and quantitative studies. Validated reference mRNAs function as positive controls and are required for calibration. Here we present selection criteria for the first set of Arabidopsis smFISH reference genes. Following sequence and transcript data assessments, four mRNA probe sets were selected for imaging. Transcript counts per cell, correlations with cell size, and corrected fluorescence intensities were all calculated for comparison. In addition to validating reference probe sets, we present sample preparation steps that can retain green fluorescent protein fluorescence, thereby providing a method for simultaneous RNA and protein detection. In summary, our reference gene analyses, modified protocol, and simplified quantification method together provide a firm foundation for future quantitative single molecule RNA studies in Arabidopsis root apical meristem cells.
