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

Isolation and characterization of rare cell types in non-model organisms present a challenge. Here, we provide a protocol to purify specific cells from planaria for downstream RNA sequencing. We employ a one-step dissociation and fixation method that avoids RNA-degrading formaldehyde. We label cells using RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (RNA FISH) and flow sort to enrich sequencing reads from cells of interest for deeper biological insight. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Mann et al.
