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

A simple method for antigen retrieval in tissue sections and cell cultures is described. Because many antibodies recognize denatured proteins on western blots, but are poorly reactive by immunocytochemistry, the effect of applying sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to cryostat sections of tissues and to cell cultures prior to immunostaining was examined. In many cases, a 5-min pretreatment with 1% SDS produced a dramatic increase in staining intensity by indirect immunofluorescence. Among the antibodies tested that showed a positive effect of SDS were an anti-Na/K-ATPase monoclonal antibody, an anti-AE1/2 anion exchanger polyclonal antipeptide antibody, a monoclonal anti-caveolin antibody, and an anti-rab4 monoclonal antibody. In other cases, including antibodies against gp330, aquaporin 1, and aquaporin 2, no effect of SDS was detected. The results show that SDS treatment can be used as a simple method of antigen retrieval in cryostat sections and on cultured cells. In some cases, antigens were not detectable without pretreatment with SDS.
