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

Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy is a powerful super-resolution imaging technique that only recently entered the field of mitosis, where it proved to be invaluable for studying various microtubule classes, kinetochore-microtubule attachments and chromosome segregation errors. Here, we describe immunofluorescence combined with STED microscopy as a method for analyzing microtubules and kinetochore-microtubule attachments in human mitotic spindles. We also describe live-cell STED microscopy as a method for single-plane short-term imaging of transient processes in crowded spindle areas. Finally, we outline image analysis approaches for the quantitative assessment of microtubule bundles within the spindle.
