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

Material was introduced into cultures of cells by using the method of scrape loading, in which cells are simply rubbed from the surface of a plastic tissue culture dish by a rubber-tipped rod in the presence of a macromolecule of interest. The volume of solution introduced into cells was comparable to that generally injected in the direct microinjection method with glass capillaries, that is, about 50 to 100 fl per cell. Genetic defects (lack of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase and thymidine kinase) in several cell lines were transiently corrected by scraping the cells in the presence of crude cell extracts prepared from wild-type cells.
