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

It is generally assumed that an aqueous mounting medium is necessary for the preservation of immunofluorescent-labelled microscopical preparations and polyvinyl alcohol-based solutions (e.g. Mowiol) being the most frequently used mounting media; however, both the quality and intensity of the fluorescence signal in most immunolabelled preparations after aqueous mounting slowly diminish with time, and finally, samples become unsuitable for examination. In the present work, we describe a very simple and rapid non-aqueous mounting procedure for cultured cells and tissue sections, which preserves the fluorescent signal in an excellent way after immunodetection or use of other specific labelling methods. It is based on the current histological protocol in which, after fluorescence labelling, preparations are dehydrated in ethanol, cleared in xylene and mounted in DePeX. Using this non-aqueous mounting medium, the fluorescent signal remains high and stable, allowing a suitable and permanent preservation of labelled and counterstained microscopical preparations.
