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-activated cell sorting (FACS) has been a core technology for the identification, characterization and isolation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), allowing for prospective isolation of cells which express specific molecules at specific levels of intensity. A recent technological breakthrough, image-enabled cell sorting (ICS), is based on FACS but it also permits separation of cells based on the differential distribution of these molecules across the cell. Using ICS in primary HSCs, we surveyed the patterns of expression for a range of intracellular markers and identified mitochondrial dyes as a tool to prospectively isolate HSCs with different properties. Integration of index-sort data with single-cell divisional kinetics identified total intensity and diffusivity of the MitoTracker dye as parameters enabling prospective isolation of functionally heterogeneous HSCs. In vivo functional assays confirmed that HSCs capable of long-term multilineage contribution were highly enriched in the MitoTracker low diffusivity, low intensity populations. Moreover, HSCs displaying high MitoTracker intensity but low MitoTracker diffusivity (Mito
