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 course of detecting nuclear transcription factors by electrophoretic mobility shift assay using digoxigenin (DIG)-labeled probes, we encountered a problem with a considerable nonspecific shift band in negative control lanes from which protein extracts were omitted. This nonspecific shift band can interfere with the detection of the desired target protein. Purification of the DIG-labeled probes by removing unincorporated DIG-labeled nucleotides did not resolve the problem. However, the introduction of an additional step of heating at 95 °C for 5 min and subsequent reannealing after DIG-labeled probe synthesis eliminated these nonspecific shift bands and allowed accurate analysis of the target protein.
