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

Monoclonal antibodies specific to chondroitin sulphate (CS-56) and keratan sulphate (AH12) were used to localize proteoglycans in the proximal tibial articular cartilage and growth plate of broiler chickens. There was no CS-56 labelling in the proliferative zone of the growth plate. In contrast, intense labelling with this antibody was observed in the transitional and hypertrophic zones of the growth plate and the articular cartilage. This was confirmed by extracting chondroitin sulphate fractions from different zones of the growth plate and articular cartilage, and examining their antigenicities to CS-56 by ELISA inhibition assay. It was suggested that the maturation of chondrocytes in the growth plate is related to the production of chondroitin sulphate with CS-56 epitope, which may be a prerequisite for normal endochondral bone formation in the chicken tibia. The role of chondroitin sulphate recognized by CS-56 in the articular cartilage is unknown.
