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

Fluorescence correlation microscopy (FCM), the combination of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) and digital microscopy (Brock and Jovin, 1998. Cell. Mol. Biol. 44:847-856), has been implemented for measuring molecular diffusion and association in living cells with explicit consideration of autocorrelations arising from autofluorescence. Autofluorescence excited at 532 nm colocalizes with mitochondria, has flavin-like spectral characteristics, exhibits relaxation times characteristic for the diffusion of high-molecular-weight proteins, and depends on the incubation conditions of the cells. These time- and location-dependent properties preclude the assignment of universal background parameters. The lower limit for detection of microinjected dextran molecules labeled with the carboxymethylindocyanine dye Cy3 was a few thousand molecules per cell, and the diffusion constant of 1.7 x 10(-7) cm2/s agreed well with values measured with other methods. Based on the fluorescence signal per molecule (fpm) and the molecule number derived from autocorrelation analysis, a new method is devised to define intracellular association states. We conclude that FCM is a powerful, noninvasive method for probing molecular interactions in femtoliter volume elements within defined subcellular locations in living cells.
