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

Human pancreatic tissue was investigated by immunohistochemistry using a polyclonal antibody against the actin binding protein villin, which participates in the formation of actin filament bundles in the microvilli. In cells of the different parts of the pancreatic duct system as well as in the acinar cells villin immunoreactivity was located mainly at the apical cell surface. This was confirmed by the ultrastructural demonstration of microvilli on the surface of duct and acinar cells, which exhibited the typical actin bundles. In chronic pancreatitis the staining for villin in duct-like structures of degenerative pancreatic tissue was irregular or even absent. This correlated with the electron microscopic observation of duct-like structures known as tubular complexes composed of cells devoid of microvilli at the apical cell surface. At the light microscopical level degenerative structures without lumen and of unknown origin showed a strong staining for villin at their basal cell surface.
