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

Super-resolution microscopy in combination with genetic labeling methods allows imaging of single proteins in cells. However, visualizing endogenous proteins on primary cells remains challenging due to the use of sterically demanding antibodies for labeling. Here, we demonstrate how immunolabeling conditions and antibody cross-linking influence the quantification and identification of membrane receptor stoichiometry on cells using single-molecule localization microscopy. We developed an optimized immunolabeling and analysis protocol and demonstrate the performance of the approach by resolving the molecular organization of endogenous CD45, CD69, and CD38 on Jurkat T cells. To demonstrate the usefulness of the method for immunotherapy applications, we investigated the interaction of primary multiple myeloma cells with the therapeutic monoclonal antibodies daratumumab and isatuximab and a polyclonal anti-CD38 antibody. Our approach might lay the foundation for improved personalized diagnostics and treatment with therapeutic antibodies.
