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

Here, we describe a method, which we term "shadow imaging," to analyze the secretions of individual cells at immune synapses or other cell contacts. Following immune synapse formation and cellular activation on ligand-rich slides, the position of each cell is recorded using a pulsed immunofluorescence stain against the proteins on the ligand-rich slide surface. The pulsed stain does not penetrate the synaptic cleft, resulting in an unlabeled region or "shadow" beneath cells that is retained following cellular detachment. The secreted components, such as perforin, exosomes, or other types of extracellular vesicles, are retained on the slide and can be analyzed on a single-cell basis using immunofluorescence. The ability to identify single cells secreting different combinations of particles, proteins, and vesicles enables us to better understand the heterogeneity in immune cell secretions and can be used as a novel approach for phenotyping cell populations.
