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

The heterogeneity of lysosomes was studied by analyzing the immunostaining behavior of cathepsins B and H in rat kidney proximal tubule cells. Rat kidneys were fixed by perfusion and embedded in Lowicryl K4M. A protein A-gold technique was applied to serial sections and a double labeling technique to conventional sections. By analyzing the immunostaining behavior of cathepsins B and H in the same lysosomes which were cut into separate sections, four types of lysosomes were found: Type 1 positive for both proteinases; type 2 strongly positive for cathepsin B, but weakly or negative for cathepsin H; type 3 strongly positive for cathepsin H, but weakly or negative for cathepsin B; and type 4 negative for both proteinases. The double labeling by two different sizes of the protein A-gold probes showed these four types of lysosomes. The results indicate that there exists the lysosomal heterogeneity of the proteinase content in the kidney proximal tubule cells.
