Immunofluorescent study of heterogeneity in smooth muscle cells of human fetal vessels using antibodies to myosin, desmin, and vimentin.

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.
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
Immunofluorescence-microscopy was applied to study the distribution of desmin, vimentin, and smooth muscle myosin in smooth muscle of human fetal vessels. Serial cryostat sections of the vessels examined all reacted positively with myosin and vimentin antibodies. However, heterogeneous staining of the vessels with desmin antibodies was observed. Thus, 2 types of smooth muscle staining were documented--desmin-negative and desmin-positive. Elastic and muscular arteries of the fetus (aorta, femoral and branchial artery) were desmin-negative while femoral and branchial veins were desmin-positive. In umbilical cord arteries and veins, the distribution of desmin-positive cells was largely localized to the outer layer of media, but not to the inner layer. In placenta, both desmin-positive and desmin-negative vessels were also revealed. Thus, differences in desmin expression by human vascular smooth muscle cells already exists during early stages of ontogeny.
