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

Correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) combines light microscopy, for identifying a target via genetic labels, dyes, antibodies and morphological features, with electron microscopy, for analyzing high-resolution subcellular ultrastructures. Here, we describe step-by-step instructions to perform a CLEM experiment, optimized for the investigation of ultrastructural features in human brain tissue. The procedure is carried out at room temperature and can be adapted to other human and animal tissue samples. The procedure requires 8 d to complete and includes the stages of sample fixation for optimal ultrastructural preservation, immunofluorescence staining, image acquisition and multimodal image correlation and is executable within standard electron microscopy laboratories. Serving as a critical tool for characterizing human tissue and disease models, room-temperature CLEM facilitates the identification and quantification of subcellular morphological features across brain regions.
