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

Proteins work together in nanostructures in many physiological contexts and disease states. We recently developed expansion revealing (ExR), which expands proteins away from each other, in order to support better labeling with antibody tags and nanoscale imaging on conventional microscopes. Here, we report multiplexed expansion revealing (multiExR), which enables high-fidelity antibody visualization of >20 proteins in the same specimen, over serial rounds of staining and imaging. Across all datasets examined, multiExR exhibits a median round-to-round registration error of 39 nm, with a median registration error of 25 nm when the most stringent form of the protocol is used. We precisely map 23 proteins in the brain of 5xFAD Alzheimer's model mice, and find reductions in synaptic protein cluster volume, and co-localization of specific AMPA receptor subunits with amyloid-beta nanoclusters. We visualize 20 synaptic proteins in specimens of mouse primary somatosensory cortex. multiExR may be of broad use in analyzing how different kinds of protein are organized amidst normal and pathological processes in biology.
