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 bioconjugation of proteins with fluorescent probes is a popular method for protein visualization and has widespread applications across scientific fields. This study assessed ultrafiltration as an alternative purification method following the bioconjugation reaction that tags fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) to bovine serum albumin (BSA). Success of the purification was determined by (1) UV-Vis spectroscopy, comparing our sample to a commercially available product, and (2) use in an in vitro bioassay. Centrifugal ultrafiltration devices with a molecular weight cut off below the molecular weight of the conjugated protein were successful in retaining the purified product and clearing unreacted FITC from solution.
