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

Proteoglycans are among the major extracellular matrix components of the central nervous system. In the cerebral cortex and many subcortical regions, chondroitin sulphate proteoglycans, which are related to the aggrecan-versican-neurocan family, have been detected immunocytochemically in perineuronal nets that surround various types of neurons. This indicates that, in the brain, there is a nonhomogeneous but defined distribution of extracellular matrix components. The present study is a further attempt to characterize the perineuronal nets in the cerebral cortex. Sections obtained from fixed and unfixed rat brains were subjected to different enzymatic treatments prior to the visualization of perineuronal nets using N-acetylgalactosamine-binding Wisteria floribunda agglutinin, antibodies against chondroitin sulphate proteoglycans or hyaluronectin, and biotinylated hyaluronectin which detects hyaluronan. In all perineuronal nets the binding of the Wisteria floribunda agglutinin was abolished after the incubation of sections with chondroitinase ABC. The protein components of the proteoglycan complexes became easier to digest after removal of chondroitin sulphate chains or hyaluronan. Since only quantitative, and not qualitative, differences in the labelling properties and the structural appearance of cortical perineuronal nets were observed after the various treatments, it is concluded that, with regard to their proteoglycan composition, these structures have common basic properties.
