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

Valid quantification of organ volume and total cell numbers are crucial parameters for morphometric studies. The number of a specific cell type cannot be simply deduced from the number of its profiles found in thin tissue sections, as this parameter also depends on cell volume, tissue orientation as well as tissue atrophy. Design-based stereology has become the method of choice for unbiased, reproducible total cell number quantification. Steps described in this protocol include transcardial perfusion of mice, postfixation, and cryoprotection of the region of interest (ROI), followed by the preparation of a systematically and randomly sampled series of thick sections through the entire ROI. Furthermore, it is described how to perform immuno-histochemical staining of such thick cryo-sections, followed by providing a guidance for quantification of the ROI volume, the generation of unbiased virtual counting spaces, and steps to work with these counting spaces to obtain an unbiased estimate of total cell numbers.
