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

This paper describes modifications of the standard methods for obtaining a soluble nuclear fraction from embryonic brain tissue. The main improvements are: (1) the inclusion of a low speed centrifugation step to prevent the appearance of high density contaminants, (2) a sucrose density gradient to remove perinuclear mitochondria and ER membranes and (3) a protein extraction approach which significantly enhances protein yield. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the method, pellets were analyzed by light and electron microscopy and purity of the soluble extracts was immunologically tested. Finally, to illustrate the applicability of this approach, the induction of the transcription factor HIF-1 (hypoxia-inducible factor-1) was assessed by Western blot using soluble nuclear fractions and by immuno-electron microscopy using purified nuclear fractions, both obtained from the optic lobes of chick embryos. In conclusion, the procedure presently described appears to be reliable and convenient for obtaining a pure soluble nuclear fraction from a discrete amount of embryonic brain tissue.
