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

Preserving RNA integrity in complex tissues such as the brain is challenging. Here, we present a protocol for isolating intact nuclei from frozen tissue and organoids for single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq). We describe steps for mechanical dissociation, using the GentleMACS Dissociator, serial filtration, and magnetic bead-based nuclei isolation. We then detail nuclei quality control and counting. This approach yields pure single-nucleus suspensions suitable for downstream fixation, cryopreservation, or library preparation across diverse tissue types. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Guillon et al.
