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 technique which permits study of the postembedding lectin histochemistry for WGA-binding sites at the light and electron microscopical level on the same resin embedded tissue without removing or etching of the resin. Unfixed kidney pieces or kidney pieces fixed in 4% formaldehyde were embedded in the hydrophilic polyhydroxy aromatic resins LR-Gold and LR-White, following dehydration in up to 70% ethanol, 90% ethanol or 100% ethanol. LR-Gold was cryopolymerised at -25 degrees C using the light sensitive initiator benzil, whereas LR-White was heat-cured at +50 degrees C. The localisation of WGA-binding sites at the light microscopical level was investigated using FITC-labelled WGA. The ultrastructural localisation of WGA-binding sites was performed using 15 nm gold-labelled WGA. The best fluorescence staining results were obtained on fixed or unfixed tissue dehydrated in up to 70% ethanol and embedded in LR-Gold. At the ultrastructural level, the best staining results for WGA-binding sites were seen on tissue sections, dehydrated in up to 90% ethanol prior to embedding in LR-Gold.
