Localization of cathepsin L in rat kidney revealed by immunoenzyme and immunogold techniques.
Article in Histochemistry, 1988. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Localization of cathepsin L in rat kidney was investigated by immunocytochemical techniques. Kidneys were fixed by perfusion and embedded in Epon or Lowicryl K4M without postosmication. For light microscopy (LM), semi-thin sections of the Epon-embedded material were stained by the immunoenzyme technique after removal of epoxy resin. For electron microscopy (EM), ultra-thin sections of Lowicryl K4M-embedded material were stained by the protein A-gold technique. By LM, reaction deposits for cathepsin L were present in the cytoplasmic granules of proximal tubule cells, but little or no reaction product was noted in distal tubule, collecting tubule, and most of urinary tubules in the medulla. By EM, heavy gold label for cathepsin L was confined exclusively to lysosomes of the proximal tubule cells, but little or no label to those of the other segments. In immunocytochemical control sections, no reaction was observed. These results indicate that a main container of cathepsin L is lysosomes of the proximal tubule and suggest that the enzyme plays a role in the degradation of endocytosed proteins.
