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

Calcium plays a pivotal role as an intracellular messenger, eliciting a diverse array of cellular responses. One of the most common calcium-sensitive fluorescent indicators is the ratiometric dye Fura-2. The primary advantage of using ratiometric dyes lies in their independence from factors, such as illumination intensity, photobleaching, dye concentration, and focal alterations, among others. This independence allows for the determination of intracellular calcium concentration free from these interfering variables. In this protocol, we describe the utilization of Fura-2 to assess intracellular calcium elevations in cultures of neural stem cells using video-microscopy equipment. We have previously applied this methodology, commonly referred to as calcium imaging, to investigate intracellular calcium dynamics triggered by the activation of purinergic receptors in a variety of neural populations (Gomez-Villafuertes et al., Cell Transplant 24(8):1493-1509, 2015; Hervas et al., J Neurosci Res 73(3):384-399, 2003; Diaz-Hernandez et al., J Cell Sci 121(Pt 22):3717-3728, 2008; Carrasquero et al., J Neurochem 110(3):879-889, 2009; Gomez-Villafuertes et al., FEBS J 276(18):5307-5325, 2009).
