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 vascular endothelium is a critical regulator of vascular homeostasis and tissue fluid balance, and mouse models are essential for studying these processes in vivo. Here, we present a protocol to generate adult endothelial cell (EC)-specific gene knockout (KO) mouse models. We describe steps for Cas9-active and Cdh5-Cre-positive (Cas9/Cdh5-Cre) mouse line generation, single guide RNA (sgRNA) design for vector construction, plasmid DNA generation, and liposome preparation. We then detail procedures for liposome/plasmid complex injection, lung harvest, homogenization, protein quantification, and verification with western blotting. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Wang et al.
