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

Chronic infectious diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) are characterized by intrathecal synthesis of increased amounts of immunoglobulin G (IgG) directed against the agent that causes disease. In other inflammatory CNS diseases such as multiple sclerosis and CNS sarcoid, the targets of the humoral immune response are uncertain. To identify the IgGs expressed by individual CD38(+) plasma cells seen in human brain sections, we merged the techniques of laser capture microdissection (LCM) and single-cell RT-PCR. Frozen brain sections from a patient who died of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), were rapidly immunostained and examined by LCM to dissect individual CD38(+) cells. After cell lysis, we developed two techniques for reverse-transcription (RT) of unpurified total RNA in the cell lysates. The first method performed repeated and rapid freeze-thawing, followed by centrifugation of the cell lysate into tubes for subsequent RT. The second, more successful method performed RT in situ on detergent-solubilized cells directly on the cap surface; subsequent nested PCR identified heavy and light chain sequences expressed by two-thirds of individually isolated plasma cells. These techniques will streamline the identification of gene expression products in single cells from complex tissues and have the potential to identify IgGs expressed in the CNS of inflammatory diseases of unknown etiology.
