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

Histochemical investigations of the periodic acid-phenylhydrazine-Schiff (PAPS) procedure were carried out on tissues containing carbohydrate macromolecules known to produce on periodate oxidation, only sialic acid monoaldehydes or hexosedialdehydes or mixtures of the two. The results indicated that the PAPS reaction is a generalized phenomenon independent of the hydrazine or hydrazide used, the nature of the Schiff reagent or the presence of anionic groups. It is proposed that phenylhydrazine condenses with periodate-engendered sialic acid monoaldehydes to yield the corresponding phenylhydrazone and with periodate-engendered dialdehydes to yield the corresponding morpholine or azido derivatives. Subsequent Schiff treatment results in the reversal of the blockade of sialic acid monoaldehydes but not of the dialdehydes, thus leading to selective Schiff staining of sialic acid residues.
