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

aimsHigh quality RNA isolation from cartilaginous tissue is considered difficult because of relatively low cellularity and the abundance of extracellular matrix rich in glycosaminoglycans and collagens. Given the growing interest and technical possibilities to study RNA expression at a high throughput level, research on tissue with these characteristics is hampered by the lack of an efficient method for obtaining sufficient amounts of high quality RNA.

methodsThis paper presents a robust protocol combining two RNA isolation procedures, based on a combination of Trizol and RNA specific columns, which has been developed to obtain high molecular weight RNA from fresh frozen and stored tissue of normal cartilage and cartilaginous tumours. Using this method, RNA was isolated from normal cartilage, peripheral chondrosarcoma, and central chondrosarcoma.

resultsThe yields ranged from 0.1 to 0.5 microg RNA/mg tissue. RNA isolated with this method was stable and of high molecular weight. RNA samples from normal cartilage and from two chondrosarcomas isolated using this method were applied successfully in cDNA microarray experiments. The number of genes that give interpretable results was in the range of what would be expected from microarray results obtained on chondrosarcoma cell line RNA. Signal to noise ratios were good and differential expression between tumour and normal cartilage was detectable for a large number of genes.

conclusionWith this newly developed isolation method, high quality RNA can be obtained from low cellular tissue with a high extracellular matrix component. These procedures can also be applied to other tumour material.
