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

Although the tyramine amplification technique to enhance sensitivity in immunohistochemistry has been described in numerous methodological papers, it has not yet gained access to diagnostic immunohistochemistry. This is mainly due to problems and pitfalls occurring in adaptation of this method to routine application. In this study a monoclonal antibody and a polyclonal antiserum (pan-cytokeratin and anti-myoglobin) were tested in tissues with different amounts of epitopes, using a checkerboard table and testing a total of 133 different dilution combinations of both the tyramide solution and the primary antibodies. The specific tissue investigated, i.e. the amount of accessible epitope to be detected and the applied concentration of the tyramide solution mainly influenced the staining reaction. Several pitfalls such as an uneven distribution of the staining or dramatic overstaining (paradoxical overstaining) must be considered to achieve optimal results. In conclusion, our data confirm methodological studies that the tyramine amplification technique is a powerful method to enhance immunohistochemical sensitivity. However, for reliable daily practice several pitfalls of the technique have to be circumvented.
