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

Explants of lymphoid tissue provide a rare opportunity to assess the organization of the immune system in a living, dynamic environment. Traditionally, ex vivo immunostaining is conducted in fixed tissue sections, while live tissues are analyzed using genetically engineered fluorescent reporters or adoptively transferred, pre-labelled cell populations. Here, we validated a protocol for immunostaining and imaging in live, thick slices of lymph node tissue, thus providing a spatial "map" of the lymph node while maintaining the viability and functionality of the slices. Using anti-B220/CD45R (B cell) as a prototype antibody, the procedure for immunostaining was tested for sufficient signal to noise with respect to staining time, temperature, and wash time, and the specificity was verified in comparison to isotype controls. Immunostaining signal in live tissue slices was detectable to atleast 120 μm deep for both whole antibodies and F(ab')
