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

The immunohistochemical characteristics of brush cells in the laryngeal mucosa were examined using immunohistochemistry for various immunohistochemical cell markers including villin at the light and electron microscopic levels. Cells that were immunoreactive to villin were barrel-shaped with thick cytoplasmic processes extending toward the lumen of the laryngeal cavity. Immunoelectron microscopic observations revealed thick and short microvilli with long rootlets of microfilaments. Numerous small clear vesicles and small finger-like cytoplasmic processes were observed in the apical process and lateral membrane, respectively. Double immunofluorescence showed villin-immunoreactive cells were not immunoreactive for the markers of solitary chemosensory cells, GNAT3 and phospholipase C, β2-subunit (PLCβ2), or for that of neuroendocrine cells, synaptosome-associated protein 25kD. Furthermore, immunoreactivities for cytokeratin 18 (CK18) and doublecortin like-kinase 1 in the perinuclear cytoplasm of villin-immunoreactive cells. However, some CK18-immunoreactive cells were immunoreactive to GNAT3 but not to villin. Regarding sensory innervation, only a few intraepithelial nerve endings with P2X3, SP, or CGRP immunoreactivity attached to villin-immunoreactive cells. In the present study, brush cells in the rat laryngeal mucosa were classified by immunoreactivity for villin, and were independent of other non-ciliated epithelial cells such as solitary chemosensory cells and neuroendocrine cells.
