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

backgroundVarious fixation and permeabilization techniques have been developed for detection of intracellular antigens by flow cytometry; however, there are few studies using flow cytometry to detect the frequency of intracellular nucleic acids, particularly RNA. We tested six different permeabilization methods in order to gain access to a high quality method with minimal damage to intracellular components focusing on 18S rRNA in HeLa cells.

methodsHeLa cells were fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde. A variety of detergents and enzymes including saponin, TritonX-100, Tween-20, NP40, Proteinase K, and streptolysin O were used to optimize a protocol of permeabilization for the flow cytometric enumeration of intracellular 18S rRNA. Treated cells were subjected to standard protocol of flow cytometric in situ hybridization in the presence of FITC-labeled sense and antisense probes to detect 18S ribosomal RNAs. Samples were then analyzed on a FACSCalibur flow cytometer. To evaluate cell morphology, following hybridization the cells were fixed on glass slide, covered with DAPI, and evaluated on a fluorescent microscope with appropriate filter sets.

resultsIn comparison with other methods, maximum cell frequency in percentage and fluorescent intensity (M1 = 2.1%, M2 = 97.9%) were obtained when the cells were treated with 0.2% Tween-20 and incubated for 30 min (p = 0.001).

conclusionOur study indicated that the highest levels of mean fluorescence could be obtained when the cells were treated with Tween-20. However, it should be taken into consideration that for a successful flow cytometric result, other interfering factors such as hybridization conditions should also be optimized.
