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

Changes of intracellular localization of serotonin in rat mast cells were examined by freeze-fracture immunocytochemistry, to prevent the translocation of the serotonin antigen. Rat peritoneal cells including mast cells were stimulated in vitro with compound 48/80, at 17 degrees C for 0, 30 or 60 s for exocytosis to occur. The mast cells were fixed, quickly frozen and freeze-fractured to expose the antigen on the fractured surface. They were immunostained with serotonin antibody, and the immunoreactions on the fractured surface were examined on ultrathin sections by electron microscopy. Unstimulated mast cells exhibited serotonin localization mostly in each intragranular matrix. In contrast, mast cells stimulated for 30 s exhibited increased serotonin in their intergranular cytoplasm. Mast cells showed more distinct immunoreactions in the cytoplasm where degranulation would be promoted after 60 s. It is suggested that intracellular release of serotonin occurred in the stimulated mast cells.
