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

Polarized epithelial cells form a tightly packed monolayer where individual cells are connected by cell-cell junctions, including tight junctions (TJ) and adherens junctions (AJ). Here, we present techniques for quantifying the horizontal and vertical distribution of junctional proteins in confluent, fixed epithelial cells. This approach is utilized to evaluate variations in the intensity and localization of the proteins that compose the AJ and TJ under different experimental conditions. Although our protocol is optimized for Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells, it is adaptable to any cell line capable of forming cell-cell junctions. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Rabino et al. (2024).
