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

Micromass cultures of chick and mouse limb-bud mesenchymal cells are commonly used for in vitro studies of cellular differentiation. Previously, adaptation of these cultures to 96-well plates facilitated analyses of various aspects of cellular behavior and the effects of different media components in these cultures. These adjustments allowed development of a serum-free medium for chick limb-bud mesenchymal cells and substantially decreased costs associated with media and reagents. Here we report a further development for this model system; a Hoechst 33342-based in situ DNA assay that provides reliable data much more quickly and with considerably less effort than had been feasible in the past. Because it allows quantitation of products of cellular differentiation and DNA in the same cultures, the number of cultures needed to provide the same data is essentially halved and the accuracy of normalized values for quantitative estimates of markers of differentiation is improved. Studies of the effects of retinoic acid on chick limb-bud mesenchymal cells were performed to document the usefulness of this method.
