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

Attempts to investigate the cellular localization of keratin mRNAs by in situ hybridization with specific [35S]-labelled cDNA probes to mouse epithelia have been seriously impeded by the uncontrollable detachment of frozen tissue sections on conventionally coated glass slides (i.e. those coated with egg white, gelatin, collagen). Similarly, a variety of other coating and attachment devices have proved to be unsatisfactory or impracticable for large scale investigations. These difficulties were completely overcome and in situ hybridization was possible after a short immersion of the glass slides in a 2% solution of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane in acetone. This treatment provides the glass surface with aminoalkyl groups which are apparently able to react covalently with aldehyde or ketone functions of frozen tissue sections. The resulting firm adhesion of the sections enabled us to investigate the influence of different fixation and prehybridization procedures on the quality of the in situ hybridization. It was found that especially harsh prehybridization, involving hydrochloric acid, heat and proteinase K treatment, drastically reduces the morphological integrity of the sections, thus rendering a reliable assignment of the label difficult. In contrast, a mild prehybridization, consisting mainly of a rehydration of the sections in phosphate-buffered saline and equilibration in 0.1 M glycine, leaves the morphology intact and leads to a highly efficient and specific in situ hybridization.
