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

Techniques exist to isolate cells from fresh intestinal tissue; however, approaches for recovering viable cells from cryopreserved duodenal and colonic specimens are lacking. Here, we present a protocol for isolating cells from a single cryopreserved gastrointestinal endoscopic biopsy for single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). We describe steps for thawing and washing cryopreserved endoscopic biopsies, enzymatic digestion of biopsies, and purification preparation. We then detail procedures for dead cell removal, quantification of cell recovery, and 10X Gel Bead-in-Emulsion (GEM) generation and library preparation. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Richards et al.
