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

Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) is largely used in immunofluorescence methods. We propose to analyse the quality of some recent fluorochromes using image analysis. Fluorochromes tested include FITC and dichlorotriazinylaminofluorescein (DTAF), dipyrrometheneboron difluoride (BODIPY), Rhodol Green and cyanine 2. RAMOS cells were immunolabelled against the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) revealed by the biotin-streptavidin technique. Slides were mounted in anhydrous glycerol or in buffered glycerol (pH 7.0 or pH 8.5). No antifading medium was added. Cell fluorescence emission intensity and bleaching characteristics were measured. Rhodol Green exhibited the highest fluorescence intensity and the best photobleaching resistance. Although BODIPY also resisted well during the photobleaching assay, its fluorescence intensity was weak. FITC, DTAF and cyanine 2 showed intermediate fluorescence intensity and a fast decay of fluorescence. Among the green emitting fluorochromes tested, Rhodol Green appeared to be the best.
