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

Automated high-throughput live cell imaging (LCI) enables investigation of substance effects on cells in vitro. Usually, cell number is analyzed by phase-contrast imaging, which is reliable only for a few cell types. Therefore, an accurate cell counting method, such as staining the nuclei with Hoechst 33342 before LCI, will be desirable. However, since the mid-1980s, the dogma exists that Hoechst can only be used for endpoint analyses because of its cytotoxic properties and the potentially phototoxic effects of the excitation light. Since microscopic camera sensitivity has significantly improved, this study investigates whether this dogma is still justified. Therefore, exposure parameters are optimized using a 4× objective, and the minimum required Hoechst concentration is evaluated, allowing LCI at 30-min intervals over 5 days. Remarkably, a Hoechst concentration of only 57 × 10
