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

Stable isotope labelling is one of the best methods currently available for quantifying cell dynamics in vivo, particularly in humans where the absence of toxicity makes it preferable over other techniques such as CFSE or BrdU. Interpretation of stable isotope labelling data (as for BrdU and CFSE) necessitates simplifying assumptions. Here we investigate the impact of three of the most commonly used simplifying assumptions: (i) that the cell population of interest is closed, (ii) that the population of interest is kinetically homogeneous, and (iii) that the population is spatially homogeneous and suggest pragmatic ways in which the resulting errors can be reduced.
