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 mouse retinal vasculature provides a powerful model system for studying development and pathologies of the vasculature. Because it forms as a two-dimensional flat plexus, it is easily imaged in its entirety in whole-mount retinal preparations. In order to study molecular signaling mechanisms, it is useful to visualize the expression of specific genes in the entire vascular plexus and retina. However, in situ hybridization on whole-mount retinal preparations is problematic because isolated retinas have a tendency to curl up during hybridization and are difficult to stain. Here we provide a detailed protocol that overcomes these difficulties and visualizes the mRNA distribution of one or two genes in the context of the counterstained retinal vasculature. The protocol takes 3-4 d for single-probe stains, with an additional 2 d for immunohistochemistry co-labeling. In situ hybridization with two probes adds a further 3 d.
