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

Due to their high penetration depth, X-rays enable us to obtain information from the interior of whole unsliced cells. Scanning small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), in particular, reveals real-space images in dark-field representation as well as structural information in reciprocal space. However, obtaining information on anisotropy and orientation from cells in an aqueous, close-to-physiological environment remains challenging. Here, we extend the recently introduced fast-scanning SAXS mode with short exposure times of a few milliseconds to such hydrated samples by combining a newly developed X-ray compatible microfluidic chamber and innovative data analysis that includes an effective noise-filtering method. This strategy enables the systematic analysis of radiation damage by quantifying the SAXS signal. Our results demonstrate that scanning SAXS can be used to obtain intracellular information of fixed-hydrated cells and the approach may in the future be applicable to living cells as well.
