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 confocal laser scanning microscope allows us to examine tissue sections in greater detail than a widefield fluorescence microscope. However, this requires samples to be better preserved than standard cryostat sections, which are not usually aldehyde-fixed. Thick sections (approximately 70 μm) of formaldehyde-fixed tissue can be cut using a vibrating microtome and subsequently labeled with primary and secondary fluorescent antibodies and/or fluorescent stains. When imaged in the confocal microscope, these samples allow us to collect high-resolution images, detailing the intracellular location of multiple proteins and structures. In this chapter, we describe the technique used to prepare vibrating microtome sections, using porcine tissue infected with African swine fever virus as an example. This technique can easily be applied to any animal tissue with any suitable combination of antibodies, depending on the hypothesis.
