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

Two new methods, based on the original periodic acid-Thionin Schiff-saponification-periodic acid-Basic Fuchsin Schiff (PAT-KOH-PAS) technique of Culling et al. (1976), have been devised for the histochemical identification of side-chain O-acylated sialic acids. In the first of these, the periodic acid-Thionin Schiff-saponification-borohydride reduction-periodic acid-Basic Fuchsin Schiff (PAT-KOH-Bh-PAS) procedure, the specificity of the original PAT-KOH-PAS technique was improved by: (a) extending, when necessary, the initial period of periodate oxidation, (b) increasing the period of exposure to Thionin Schiff reagent from 30 min to 4 h, (c) using a Thionin Schiff reagent prepared by a different method, (d) interposing a borohydride reduction step between the saponification and PAS steps and, (e) extending the period of oxidation in the final PAS step from 10 to 30 min. In the second procedure, the periodic acid-phenylhydrazine-Thionin Schiff-borohydride reduction-periodic acid-Basic Fuchsin Schiff (PAPT-KOH-Bh-PAS), based on the periodic acid-phenylhydrazine-Schiff (PAPS) technique of Spicer (1961), blue Thionin Schiff staining was confined to sialic acid residues with oxidizable side chain vicinal diols by interposing a treatment with 0.5% (w/v) aqueous phenylhydrazine hydrochloride for 2 h at room temperature between the initial periodic acid oxidation and the Thionin Schiff steps of the PAT-KOH-Bh-PAS procedure. These procedures are discussed within the general framework of the methods available for the histochemical identification of side-chain O-acylated sialic acids.
