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

Immuno-laser capture microdissection (immuno-LCM) enables highly selective retrieval of designated cell populations from their in situ locations in complex tissue like the brain. However, the amount of tissue acquired by immuno-LCM is extremely limited, and the RNA purification, amplification and labeling steps necessary for expression analysis by hybridization microarray are tedious and time consuming. This report therefore describes a protocol in which these RNA steps are eliminated altogether, yet allows for global gene profiling. Specifically, immuno-LCM tissue was solubilized and the extract directly subjected to reverse transcription to generate cDNA. Pre-amplification of cDNA was performed next, and then relative expression of 96 different immune-related genes simultaneously determined by quantitative real-time PCR using a microfluidic card TaqMan(®) Low Density Array (TLDA). This protocol was highly reproducible and extremely sensitive, demonstrating high correlation of raw Ct values among both technical and biological replicate samples when using only 1/32 of total pre-amplified cDNA obtained from as little as 500 LCM 'shots.' As this abridged protocol takes only approximately 7h from LCM tissue acquisition to analysis by TLDA, it can prove a very effective tool for both screening and validation purposes when investigating gene regulation in health and disease of the nervous system and other tissues.
