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

Many peroxidase inhibitors have been used in horseradish peroxidase (HRP) mediated immunostaining and in situ hybridization to quench background peroxidase activity. However, the efficacy of these inhibitors has been controversial, partially due to the lack of a quantitative study. Tyramide signal amplification (TSA) is much more sensitive than other HRP-mediated methods but its super-sensitivity also demands effective inhibition of background peroxidase activity. In searching for an effective peroxidase inhibitor, we have systematically evaluated the efficacy of several peroxidase inhibitors by quantifying the fluorescence intensity in cultured fibroblasts and tissue sections treated with the inhibitors. For cultured cells, 0.05 mM of phenylhydrazine and 1 unit/ml of glucose oxidase gave only moderate inhibition of HRP activity while 1 mM of sodium azide (NaN(3)), 3% of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), NaN(3)/H(2)O(2) combined and 0.02 N hydrochloric acid (HCl) provided more complete inhibition. However, the inhibitory effect of NaN(3)/H(2)O(2) is reversible upon removal of the inhibitors and followed by incubation and wash to mimic antibody interactions. Similar results were obtained from rat skin wound tissues that have strong endogenous peroxidase activity. Our results recommend the use of HCl and caution the use of phenylhydrazine, glucose oxidase, NaN(3) and H(2)O(2) as potent peroxidase inhibitors.
