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

Some 2-(2-styryl)-benzothiazole derivatives have been synthesized as novel fluorescent substrates for the localization of peroxidase activity. Excellent localization, high staining sensitivity and exceptionally low background staining were achieved by optimizing the choice of substrate. Multiple step-by-step anchoring of enzymatically-activated individual substrate molecules to surrounding nucleophiles, related to the catalysed reporter deposition (CARD) technique, is discussed. In contrast to tyramine conjugates, as employed in the CARD technique, the separation between reporting and anchoring function is eliminated, thus yielding a new fluorochrome with altered fluorescence properties after enzymatic cross-linking. (E)-2-(2-[4-hydroxyphenyl] vinyl)-3-ethyl-1,3-benzothiazolium iodide has been found to the best substrate so far. This was demonstrated in histochemical applications for the localization of endogenous and immunobound peroxidase activity using fixed cryostat, paraffin or semi-thin Epon sections. The specific final reaction product is efficiently excitable over a wide spectrum from green to violet, providing an outstanding sensitive localization of sites of enzymatic activity with high photo stability. In a comparative study with the Alexa Fluor 546-tyramine conjugate, endogenous and immunobound peroxidase activity was visualized and the results compared using an epi-fluorescence confocal laser scanning microscope. The novel substrate provided an improved specificity and very low background staining whereas the Alexa Fluor-tyramide exhibited a strong overall background staining. FITC-labelled secondary antibodies also yielded very low background staining but the staining was less specific compared with the biotin-based ABC amplification systems labelled with the selected substrate or the Alexa-tyramide. In conclusion, multiple fluorochrome generation close to sites of peroxidase activity, by enzymatic cross-linking of styrene-related substrates, is a promising alternative to the fluorochrome-labelled tyramine ('tyramide') deposition technique.
