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

Tissue microarray (TMA) is a smart technical innovation recently imposed in pathology research. This technology provides a high-throughput analysis of multiple tissues at the same time. The technique allows faster analysis and considerably reducing costs for the staining because many small representative tissue samples from hundreds of different cases are assembled on a single histologic slide. This versatile technique may improve conventional microscopic techniques to detect and characterize cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) may be effectively employed in CTL characterization to identify the location and distribution of target antigens in tissues by staining with a specific antibody. The antibody may be conjugated to either a fluorescent or enzymatic label, and the location of the label seen through a microscope approximates the position of the target antigen.This article summarizes the technical aspects of tissue microarray construction and sectioning, advantages, application, and limitations associated with immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence.
