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

Optimization and standardization of immunohistochemistry (IHC) protocols within and between laboratories requires reproducible positive and negative control samples. In many situations, suitable tissue or cell line controls are not available. We demonstrate here a method to incorporate target antigens into synthetic protein gels that can serve as IHC controls. The method can use peptides, protein domains, or whole proteins as antigens, and is compatible with a variety of fixation protocols. The resulting gels can be used to create tissue microarrays (TMAs) with a range of antigen concentrations that can be used to objectively quantify and calibrate chromogenic, fluorescent, or mass spectrometry-based IHC protocols. The method offers an opportunity to objectively quantify IHC staining results, and to optimize and standardize IHC protocols within and between laboratories. (J Histochem Cytochem 58:XXX-XXX, 2019).
