Expression of type I and IV collagen mRNAs in healing gastric ulcers--a comparative analysis using isotopic and non-radioactive in situ hybridization.

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.
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 sensitivity and practicability of in situ hybridization methods utilizing isotopic or non-radioactive labeling were compared. The aim of this study was to determine whether digoxigenin-labeled riboprobes are as sensitive as 35S-labeled probes to detect changes in type I and IV procollagen expression in an animal model of rat gastric ulcer. Both labeling and detection methods yielded similar results, with a superimposable signal distribution in the specimens. High levels of procollagen type I and IV transcripts were observed in spindle-shaped cells, presumably fibroblasts or myofibroblasts, localized in the ulcer base and rim. The increased expression of these collagen types suggests a remarkable upregulation of collagen expression during the healing of gastric ulcers. Liver tissue adhering to perforated ulcers displayed signals related to non-parenchymal cells, with hepatocytes demonstrating no detectable transcripts of type I or IV collagen genes. Due to the identical pattern of signal distribution by both hybridization techniques it is concluded that non-radioactive in situ hybridization is of value in monitoring highly expressed genes and yields results similar to those achieved with radioactive probes. In these cases, non-radioactive techniques are preferable because they are performed more rapidly and do not require handling of isotopes.
