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

Biomolecular condensates regulate cellular organization, but early assembly intermediates remain difficult to resolve. Here, we present single-cluster pull-down (SiCluP), a fluorescence microscopy assay to selectively immobilize nanoclusters under defined experimental conditions onto antibody-functionalized PEG surfaces for TIRF imaging and quantitative single-cluster analysis. We describe steps for surface preparation, nanocluster assembly within the flow chamber, selective immobilization, and time-resolved measurements. Using FUS as an example, SiCluP enables the quantification of assembly kinetics, relative cluster size, and molecular exchange at the single-cluster level. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Ge et al.
