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

This work describes a method for the immunolocalization of laminin on 1 micron-thick tissue sections using a postembedding immunofluorescence technique. Embedding of unfixed or formaldehyde-fixed mouse renal cortex in either of the acrylic resins LR-White or LR-Gold permitted reliable postembedding immunofluorescence staining for laminin. LR-White was heat-cured at 50 degrees C whereas LR-Gold was polymerized at -25 degrees C. A stronger immunostaining for laminin was obtained from tissue embedded in polymerized LR-Gold compared with the staining from tissue embedded in LR-White. Prerequisites for adequate postembedding immunostaining are the partial dehydration of the tissue (maximum ethanol concentration, 70%) and pepsin treatment of the tissue sections prior to performing the immunostaining reactions.
