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

The brain is difficult to analyze using flow cytometry due to its complex interactions with cells, high lipid content, and high autofluorescence. In this study, we investigated methods to isolate various types of brain cells with high yield and viability. The results showed that protease selection significantly affected the viability of various cell types in the brain. Differences in the developmental stage also affected cell yield and viability. Furthermore, the intensity of autofluorescence differs greatly between various regions of the brain. Additionally, we searched for neuronal indicators capable of identifying a diverse range of neurons. The ratios of various exosomes contained in neurons differ depending on the type of neuronal marker. These results revealed critical factors that must be considered when analyzing various types of brain cells using flow cytometry.
