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 distribution of individual cytokeratin polypeptides in the adult rat lung parenchyma was investigated by immunohistochemistry with 44 monoclonal and 2 polyclonal antibodies. Simple epithelial cytokeratins 7, 8, 18 and 19 were found to be expressed differently in alveolar and bronchial epithelial cells. Three distinct types of alveolar cells were detected according to their pattern of immunoreactivity: type II cells strongly expressing cytokeratins 8 and 18 and weakly expressing cytokeratins 7 and 19 in the cell periphery; type I cells predominantly positive for cytokeratins 7 and 19 and weakly for cytokeratin 8; and a newly defined third cell type III (alveolar brush cell) with cytokeratin 18 abundantly expressed but organized in an unusual intracellular ("globular") structure. The latter cell type failed to bind the type II specific Maclura pomifera lectin, and contained no surfactant proteins. Bronchial epithelial cells exhibited a more or less uniform staining pattern for cytokeratins 8, 18 and 19 and focally for cytokeratins 4 and 7.
