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.
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
Analysis of the cell cycle in kinetoplastid parasites involves the assessment of the replication of single copy organelles, such as the nucleus, kinetoplast, and flagellum, alongside the observation of cell cycle stage-associated morphological changes, e.g., cell shape changes and the appearance of a mitotic spindle or cytokinesis furrow, which together allow the cell cycle stage of individual parasites to be determined. To date, most kinetoplastid cell cycle analysis has been performed using light microscopy and/or flow cytometry of fixed cells, but while these methods have proven highly valuable, microscopy can be time-consuming and flow cytometry can lack resolution. We have previously shown that imaging flow cytometry offers significant benefits for depth and speed of analysis. This is due to its ability to directly link the high-throughput and quantitative nature of standard flow cytometry with the visual and spatial data of microscopy, over an extensive array of morphological and fluorescence parameters, which can be calculated for both brightfield and fluorescence images of each cell. Furthermore, the ability to automate image analysis ensures high throughput. Here, we provide a step-by-step guide to analyzing the cell cycle of live promastigote Leishmania mexicana using imaging flow cytometry. We outline a method for quantitative DNA staining in live L. mexicana promastigotes using Vybrant™ DyeCycle™ Orange and provide protocols, guidance, and example analysis templates for using an ImageStream
