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

The distribution of glycoconjugates was examined in the nonsensory regions of the rat cochlea during postnatal development using biotin-conjugated lectins. Temporal bones of rats at postnatal d 1 and at wk 2, 4 and 6 were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and 0.1% glutaraldehyde and processed for paraffin wax embedding. The dewaxed sections were incubated with 7 biotinylated lectins, followed by avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex. A different staining pattern was observed in the stria vascularis, spiral ligament and spiral limbus in the age groups examined. The staining intensity varied between lectins and the reaction product exhibited limited disparity. The staining intensity for WGA increased with age in all the 3 nonsensory regions. The staining patterns for the other lectins differed in the various nonsensory regions examined indicating tissue specificity. The limited variations in the lectin binding patterns after 2nd wk of postnatal life also indicate that the changes in the carbohydrate moieties are established during the fetal period of cochlear development and limited changes take place during postnatal maturation of the nonsensory regions.
