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

Antibodies play a crucial role in basic research and clinical decision-making. However, there are no standardized algorithms or guidelines to ensure their accuracy and validity. There have been efforts to generate consensus, but, with the exception of clinical labs, antibody validation remains variable in the literature and sometimes in clinical practice. Here we focus on immunohistochemistry, an example of a scientific and clinical tool where validation of antibodies is critical. We describe a protocol that we use to validate antibodies specifically for immunohistochemistry, including some of the pillars of antibody validation from Uhlen
