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

Genetically modified organisms present the challenge of quantifying structures and functions in organs, tissues and cells. Morphological investigation is greatly facilitated by taking sections in MRI, CAT scanning, histological preparations or EM, and powerful unbiased quantitative tools called stereology can use these sections in a sampling based approach to measure volume, number surface and length. Stereological tools have become methods of choice in the fields of neurobiology, nephrology and cell biology and allow accurate unbiased description of intact organs, tissues, cells and organelles. Stereology has yet to be applied widely in the field of transgenics. Here I provide an overview of stereological methods and explain how they represent a powerful addition to the transgenic biologists armoury of techniques.
