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 technology of laser capture microdissection (LCM) is used to isolate specific regions of tissue samples or specific cells under microscopic observation. Several studies have employed LCM to collect tissue samples or cells from pathological tissues. It can also be used to collect cells from blood smears, particularly when it is difficult to differentiate cells based on expression markers or when the sample volume is limited. This chapter describes a method for preparing peripheral blood or bone marrow smears on glass slides with membranes, followed by staining with May-Grünwald Giemsa solution and cell collection via LCM. In addition, methods for extracting DNA and RNA from the collected cells for the analysis of gene aberrations and expression levels are described.
