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 technique of immunolocalization in differentiated phloem cells is a challenging task given their specific functions, anatomy, and cell organellar infrastructure. Incorporation of specific cell wall components in thickened cell walls of phloem cells is often the source of unspecific labeling and erroneous localization data. Furthermore, tissue preservation of cells that are exposed to high osmotic pressure is a very challenging task, encountering many pitfalls. Therefore, special care is required regarding the generation and purification of specific antibodies and in the protocols used for tissue preservation. Here, some useful tips for cautious tissue preparation and antibody purification for immunolocalization are given. In parallel, the main focus should be on the confirmation of immunohistochemical localization data by alternative methods, promoter reporter gene studies, or activity tests.Keywords Phloem transport, Carbon allocation, Sucrose transporter, Phloem proteins, Immunolocalization, Subcellular localization.
