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

Here we present a collection of methods established for genetic manipulation of Paradiplonema papillatum (also referred to as Diplonema papillatum), so far the only diplonemid species that is genetically tractable and can therefore serve as a model organism, enabling functional studies of this very abundant and species-rich group of marine protists. We describe a complete transformation protocol which includes: (1) the Alamar blue assay, a method that serves to identify antibiotics, to which P. papillatum is sensitive and can be used for transformant selection; (2) the design and preparation of DNA constructs for functional genomics; and (3) two protocols for electroporation and transformant screening. We conclude with an immunoprecipitation protocol optimized for pulling down target-tagged proteins along with their interaction partners, allowing the characterization of protein complexes.
