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

The aims of the present work were to identify the neuronal form of nitric oxide synthase (nNOS type I) in brain structures in rats by immunocytochemistry, to compare the results with data from histochemical reactions for NADPH-diaphorase, and to develop the optimal conditions for fixation for detecting nNOS. The product of the histochemical reaction was found to be located strictly in the cytoplasm. Immunocytochemical detection of nNOS showed that along with the cytoplasmic reaction for nNOS, the nuclei of some neurons and gliocytes were immunopositive, though the cytoplasm of these cells gave negative reactions for nNOS. Selection of the optimal fixation conditions for specimens and the dilution of the primary antibody allowed reductions in the intensity of nuclear nNOS-type reactions without affecting the specific reaction of the cytoplasm for nNOS. These data provide evidence that the best detection of nNOS in paraffin sections is obtained using immersion fixation in Carnoy's fluid or post-fixation in this solution after perfusion with 4% paraformaldehyde.
