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

aimsTo assess the effect of microwave heating on immunohistochemical staining of CD15 and CD30 antigens in Hodgkin's disease tissue samples.

methodsFormalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded sections from 20 cases of Hodgkin's disease (six mixed cellularity, 14 nodular sclerosis) were immunostained for CD15, using two antibodies (DAKO-M1 and Leu-M1) and for CD30 using the antibody Ber-H2. The staining was carried out by conventional techniques which included pretreatment of sections with trypsin and on untreated sections following heating with microwaves. With antibody Leu-M1 an additional method, using a specific antimouse IgM bridge both with and without microwave heating, was also included. The results for each method were compared by counting positively stained Reed-Sternberg cells and estimating the staining intensity.

resultsMicrowave heating resulted in a substantial increase in the number of cells stained with antibodies to CD15 and also in the staining intensity. The best results were obtained using Leu-M1 with specific rabbit anti-mouse IgM bridge and microwave heating. Dramatic enhancement of the staining of Reed-Sternberg cells for CD30 was achieved following microwave heating, together with disappearance of the non-specific staining of plasma cells.

conclusionMicrowave heating is strongly recommended for the immunohistochemical staining of CD15 and CD30 expressed by Reed-Sternberg cells in Hodgkin's disease.
