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

Alcatras microfluidic devices allow long-term, single-cell measurements by immobilizing cells of budding yeast in hundreds of individual traps while removing daughters by the flow of a medium. Here, we present a protocol for simultaneously monitoring the growth and responses of up to five budding yeast strains using a multi-chamber version of the device. We describe steps for preparing logarithmic cultures and medium reservoirs, filling the device, and loading cells. We then detail procedures for securing tubing and starting the medium flow. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Granados et al.
