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

A cytochemical method for light microscopical studies is described which allows the specific detection of fungal hyphae in plant-fungus associations: e.g. lichens, mycorrhiza, or fungal infections of plant tissue. The specimens were fixed and embedded in epoxy resin by a standard protocol for electron microscopy. Semithin sections were successively incubated with fluorescein isothiocyanate labelled wheat germ agglutinin (FITC-WGA) and calcofluor white (CW). FITC-WGA stained exclusively the fungal cell walls while CW stained both the fungal and the plant cell walls. Therefore, FITC-WGA is an excellent marker for the fungal hyphae.
