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 protocol describes the combination of in situ hybridization (ISH) with cryo-immunolabeling methods to allow the simultaneous detection at the ultrastructural level of mRNAs and proteins. The procedure consists of five steps and takes 4-5 d: (i) acquisition of ultrathin frozen sections of chemically fixed tissues or cells; (ii) hybridization of the sections with digoxigenin (DIG) or biotin-labeled RNA probes; (iii) detection of the bound probe with antibodies and protein A-gold (PAG); (iv) labeling of proteins of interest (optional); and (v) visualization by transmission electron microscopy (immuno-electron microscopy (IEM)). This technique allows the simultaneous detection of endogenous/overexpressed/injected RNAs and proteins while preserving the cell ultrastructure. The protocol is also suitable for mRNA detection on semi-thin frozen sections in combination with immunofluorescence. The localization of targeted transcripts, such as gurken and oskar mRNA in the Drosophila oocyte, and of structural elements and proteins that mediate their localization have been revealed using this technique.
