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

Immuno-electron microscopy (Immuno-EM) is a powerful tool for identifying molecular targets with ultrastructural details in biological specimens. However, technical barriers, such as the loss of ultrastructural integrity, the decrease in antigenicity, or artifacts in the handling process, hinder the widespread use of the technique by biomedical researchers. We developed a method to overcome such challenges by combining light and electron microscopy with immunolabeling based on Tokuyasu's method. Using cryo-sectioned biological specimens, target proteins with excellent antigenicity were first immunolabeled for confocal analysis, and then the same tissue sections were further processed for electron microscopy, which provided a well-preserved ultrastructure comparable to that obtained using conventional electron microscopy. Moreover, this method does not require specifically designed correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) devices but rather employs conventional confocal and electron microscopes; therefore, it can be easily applied in many biomedical studies.
