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

Whole-mount techniques are widely used in medical and biological research to analyze protein expression and tissue organization in intact specimens. Traditional approaches for protein localization include section-based immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization; however, these methods can be limited by tissue disruption and loss of spatial context. Whole-mount protocols generally involve tissue fixation, permeabilization, and staining with specific probes, but their effectiveness varies depending on the antigen-antibody combination and the specimen type. Consequently, no universal protocol is suitable for all experimental conditions. This protocol presents a detailed whole-mount immunostaining protocol for evaluating tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) expression, a key marker of dopaminergic neurons, in zebrafish (
