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

Statistically significant correlations were obtained between a chemical assay for the proportion of colonic epithelial glycoprotein sialic acids with side chain O-acyl substituents and two histochemical methods, the PBT-KOH-PAS sequence (rs = 0.7485 for N = 31, P = 0.01, one-sided test) and the PAPT-KOH-Bh-PAS procedure (rs = 0.7024 for N = 34). A positive correlation (rs = 0.8654 for N = 30, P = 0.01) was also obtained between the results of the two histochemical procedures. It is concluded that, on average, histochemical observations are a reliable semiquantitative comparative method for the estimation of side chain O-acetylated sialic acids.
