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

In the present study, we have investigated the applicability of semi-thin sections from low temperature Lowicryl K4M-embedded tissues for cytochemical labelling with protein A-gold and lectin-gold complexes. In order to ensure the best possible signal-to-noise ratio antibodies, protein A-gold and lectin-gold were applied in concentrations used for labelling at the electron microscope level. Furthermore, due to the lack of an appropriate chemical procedure for resin removal, untreated semi-thin sections were incubated. Under such conditions, semi-thin sections displayed either no visible staining or only a faint incomplete staining. However, following photochemical silver reaction, the latent or faint incomplete staining was rendered visible in most cases. It is concluded that the same block of Lowicryl K4M-embedded tissue and the same labelling reagents can be used for both light and electron microscopical cytochemical studies. At the light microscopical level, a high degree of structural and specific staining information is obtained. The reactivity of cellular components with antibodies or lectins is preserved even after years of storage of the blocks or slides containing semi-thin sections.
