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

backgroundImmunohistochemistry (IHC) has emerged as an essential tool in characterizing neoplastic diseases, playing a crucial role in both human and veterinary medicine. Despite the increased demand for specific diagnoses in veterinary oncology, the full potential of IHC has been hampered by the reduced number of specific cross-reactive antibodies recognising their antigens in diverse animal species. This study addresses this limitation by testing the cross-reactivity of a panel of 69 antibodies, including one in-house generated monoclonal antibody, using IHC on routinely fixed formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues of lymph node, spleen or bursa of Fabricius samples from domestic (n = 13) and exotic/wild (n = 28) animal species as well as normal human lymph node.

resultsWe successfully identified a panel of 16 monoclonal or multiclonal antibodies targeting lymphoid (CD3, CD4, CD8, FOXP3, PD-1, TOX2, CD19, CD20, CD21, CD79a, CD79b, BCL-2, BCL-6, IRF-4, PAX5) and myeloid (CD163) antigens that are cross reactive across species. This comprehensive panel enables the precise detection of the most important subpopulations of haematopoietic cells, including T and B cells, macrophages and dendritic cells.

conclusionsThe results improve the availability of antibodies for immunohistochemical studies in veterinary clinical practice and research. The cross-reactive antibody panel identified here is a versatile tool for further studies in immunophenotyping immune cell populations in diverse animal species. It represents a significant advance toward improved diagnostic accuracy in veterinary medicine, facilitating the study of these cell populations under normal and pathological conditions.
