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 was the aim of the current study to evaluate the utility of human placental alkaline phosphatase (hPLAP) as a genetic marker for cell tracking in bone and cartilage, using transgenic Fischer 344 rats expressing hPLAP under the control of the ubiquitous R26 promoter [F344-Tg(R26-hPLAP)]. hPLAP enzyme activity was retained during paraffin and methylmethacrylate (MMA) embedding, and was best preserved using 40% ethanol as fixative. Endogenous alkaline phosphatase activity could be completely blocked by heat inactivation in paraffin and MMA sections, allowing histochemical detection of hPLAP in the complete absence of background staining. In addition, sensitive detection of hPLAP was also possible using immunohistochemistry. F344-Tg(R26-hPLAP) rats demonstrated ubiquitous expression of hPLAP in hematopoietic bone marrow cells and stromal cells such as osteoblasts, osteocytes, and chondrocytes. Osteoclasts only weakly expressed hPLAP. In conclusion, hPLAP provides superb detection quality in paraffin and plastic sections, and constitutes an excellent genetic marker for cell tracking in hard and soft tissues.
