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

Immunohistochemistry is a method that can provide complementary diagnostic and prognostic information to morphological observations and soluble assays. Sensitivity, specificity, or requirements for arduous sample preparation or signal amplification procedures often limit the application of this approach to routine clinical specimens. Rolling circle amplification (RCA) generates a localized signal via an isothermal amplification of an oligonucleotide circle. The application of this approach to immunohistochemistry could extend the utility of these methods to include a more complete set of immunological and molecular probes. RCA-mediated signal amplification was successfully applied to the sensitive and specific detection of a variety of cell surface antigens (CD3, CD20, and epithelial membrane antigen) and intracellular molecules (vimentin and prostate-specific antigen) within a variety of routinely fixed specimens, as well as samples prepared for flow cytometry. RCA technology, which has an intrinsically wide dynamic range, is a robust and simple procedure that can provide a universal platform for the localization of a wide variety of molecules as a function of either antigenicity or nucleic acid sequence. The use of RCA in this way could enhance the use of markers of current interest as well as permit the integration of emerging information from genomics and proteomics into cell- and tissue-based analyses.
