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

A full-length cDNA clone encoding the constant region of T cell receptor beta chain was labelled by random priming DNA with digoxigenin-dUTP. The probe was used to estimate the relative amount of the receptor beta chain mRNA by in situ hybridization on frozen sections from human thymus and lymph nodes. The hybridization was visualized in blue using an anti-digoxigenin antibody conjugated with alkaline phosphatase and a subsequent enzyme-catalysed colour reaction. The distributions of the signal in tissue sections were as expected. Moreover, labelled cells showed hybrids both in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus, and strongly and weakly stained cells were clearly distinguishable. The results indicate that this method of in situ hybridization should be useful in the detection of specific mRNA in frozen sections.
