A modified nick translation method used with FISH that produces reliable results with archival tissue sections.
Article in Molecular biotechnology, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Nick translation is used to label DNA and RNA to produce probes for in situ hybridization and Northern and Southern blotting. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a widely applied technique used to determine chromosomal and genetic anomalies in many biological samples. Initially the technique was applied to metaphase preparations, but the usefulness of detecting genetic anomalies in solid tumors in situ has resulted in the development of modified protocols. Formalin fixed paraffin processed tissue sections present novel challenges when applying FISH; the probes must be small (between 200 and 600 base pairs) and pretreatment is necessary before the probes can be applied to tissue sections, to promote probe access to target DNA. Here we report on a modification of a nick translation method to produce a probe that can reliably be used with FISH in paraffin processed tissue sections.
