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

Over the last decades, intensive research studies have been focused on describing how the immunological synapse is formed, the intracellular mechanisms that control lytic granules formation, and even further, the steps toward granule polarization before the killing event is achieved. These convoluted processes pose significant experimental challenges since the components' sizes are smaller than the diffraction limit of the conventional fluorescent microscopy techniques and their highly dynamic nature. Here, we describe a procedure to perform a quantitative analysis of the protein markers of these lytic granules by using τau-STED imaging and 3D-quantitative colocalization of lytic granule markers. The innovative technology offered by τau-STED microscopy and unbiased imaging analysis is a great tool that could be applied to further our understanding of lytic granule composition and localization and study other dynamic processes at the immunological synapses.
