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.
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
contextAdequate tissue fixation is fundamental to good quality histological sections. Owing to undesirable effects of 10% buffered formalin, its availability in clinics is questionable. Thus, the present study was conducted with a novel approach to fixation, together with the scope of finding fixative properties of more commonly used reagents available at the clinics.
aimsThe present study was aimed to compare the efficacy of local anesthetic solution, normal saline (NS) and distilled water (DW) with that of 10% neutral-buffered formalin. SETTINGS AND
designIt is a single-blinded study where histological assessment of fixation was done to assert if the tissues procured were sufficient or insufficient for the clinical diagnosis with/without any problems. SUBJECTS AND
methodsForty soft-tissue specimens obtained from 2 goat tongue were used. Tissues each were directly immersed in local anesthesia, DW, NS solution and formalin for 12 and 24 h each and labeled as Group I and Group II, respectively. The sections were evaluated for staining quality and were subjected to statistical analysis. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: Kruskal-Wallis test was employed to assess the differences in histological quality scores. Comparison between the tissues of the two groups was estimated with Mann-Whitney U-test. Kappa Statistic was used to measure the interobserver variation.
resultsThere was a significant difference (
conclusionsOn the basis of the results obtained, local anesthetic solution can be used as an emergency fixative.
