Protocol to measure ß-galactosidase in Drosophila extracts using a CPRG assay.
Article in STAR protocols, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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 quantification of ß-galactosidase activity is routinely required by laboratories worldwide. We present a cost-effective, highly replicable, simple technique for quantifying ß-galactosidase-specific activity from crude extracts made from whole organisms or dissected tissues or cells. Extracts are prepared and measured without the need for any specialized equipment, and tissue is ground manually by pestle and measured by colorimetric CPRG and Bradford assays. This protocol describes the assay using Drosophila extracts but could be applied to any biological system of interest. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Seroude et al. (2002),
