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

Four methods based upon the periodic acid-phenylhydrazine-Schiff reaction have been developed for the simultaneous visualization of neutral sugars with periodate oxidizable vicinal diols (hexose, 6-deoxyhexose, N-acetylhexosamine) and either sialic acids or side chain O-acyl sialic acids. In the first of these procedures, the saponification-periodic acid oxidation-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine-Azure A-Schiff-saponification (KOH-PA-DNPH-Az-KOH) method, all sialic acids stain Azure blue, neutral sugars with oxidizable vicinal diols stain yellow and mixtures of such components stain in various shades of green. In the second technique, periodic acid oxidation-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine-Azure A Schiff-saponification (PA-DNPH-Az-KOH), Azure Blue staining is confined to sialic acids without side chain substituents or which have an O-acyl substituent at position C7, while in the third method, the selective periodate oxidation-borohydride reduction-saponification-periodic acid oxidation-2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine-Azure A-Schiff-saponification (PA-Bh-KOH-PA-DNPH-Az-KOH) technique, only sialic acids with O-acyl substituents at positions C7, C8 or C9 (or which have two or three O-acyl side chain substituents) stain Azure blue. Finally in the fourth procedure, periodic acid oxidation-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine-Azure A-Schiff-saponification-borohydride reduction-periodic acid oxidation-Schiff (PA-DNPH-Az-KOH-Bh-PAS), sialic acids without side chain substituents or which have O-acyl substituents at C7 stain Azure blue, sialic acids substituted at position C8 or C9 (or which are di- or tri-substituted) stain magenta and neutral sugars stain yellow. Where mixtures of these components are present, a wide range of colours is obtained.
