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

We present a modification of double indirect immunofluorescence in which we used four antibodies raised in three species to visualize two different antigens. The procedure, which relies on dual recognition of a secondary antibody, requires that one primary antibody and one of the secondary antibodies be raised in the same species. As the two secondary antibodies are conjugated to two different fluorochromes, both of the antigens studied are visualized with one light filter while only one antigen is displayed with another filter. This, in turn, allows more efficient comparison of the distribution of the two antigens in a single field or photograph than is possible by comparing two fields or photographs by conventional double staining. The method is especially useful for determining possible co-localization of two cellular structures. We illustrate the method in adrenal cells in which mitochondria and intermediate filaments are seen to be co-localized.
