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

Understanding gene expression within defined neuronal populations is essential for dissecting the cellular and molecular diversity of the brain. mRNA assays provide a direct readout of gene expression, capturing transcriptional changes that may precede or occur independently of protein abundance, whereas protein assays reflect the cumulative effects of translation, modification, and degradation. Moreover, in histological analysis, immunohistochemical protein detection results in visually diffuse labeling, which makes it difficult to quantitatively assess levels and locations of expression at high resolution. Here, we present a protocol that allows for mRNA detection in single neuronal cell types with a high degree of sensitivity and anatomical resolution. This protocol combines fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with immunohistochemistry (IHC) on the same tissue section. Briefly, FISH is carried out by ACDBio RNAscope
