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 ultrastructure of porcine splenic cords was analysed by light and electron microscopy after both perfusion and immersion fixation. The external aspect of the splenic cords was found to be composed of a network of smooth muscle cells arranged between the trabeculae and the venous sinus walls. Macrophages frequently attached to smooth muscle cells surrounded the whole of their surfaces and were attached by slender cytoplasmic projections. Intercellular junctions in the form of electron-dense areas 200-350 nm in length and 45-55 nm in thickness were observed in the macrophage membrane close to the muscle cells. In the splenic cords of nonperfused animals, in addition to the macrophage population adhering to smooth muscle cells, numerous macrophages without cell junctions were also seen and identified as free macrophages.
