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

Traditional immunohistochemistry (IHC) involves chromogenic detection of target antigens by antibodies that are conjugated to enzymes. Such immunostaining of thin tissue sections enables visualization of the distribution and localization of target antigens within their proper histological context. In this chapter, we describe how tick-borne flaviviruses can be visualized at the tick feeding site via IHC. We use antibodies specific to the North American tick-borne flavivirus, Powassan virus (POWV), to demonstrate how viral antigen can be visualized in the skin of a vertebrate host that is fed upon by an infected tick.
