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

aimsThe detection of cellular antigens in fixed decalcified bone marrow trephine (BMT) sections depends on the method of processing, the nature of the antigen and antibody, antigen retrieval techniques, and the sensitivity of the immunocytochemical method. This study evaluated a tyramide enhanced avidin-biotin immunostaining method on formalin fixed decalcified BMT sections to determine whether the method could detect previously undetectable antigens.

methodsNineteen BMT biopsies from a range of haematological disorders were evaluated with 43 antibodies to haemopoietic antigens using horseradish peroxidase and alkaline phosphatase detection methods, using the tyramide enhanced avidin-biotin immunostaining method.

resultsCompared with standard avidin-biotin immunostaining methods the tyramide enhanced immunostaining method showed enhanced signal intensity, gave positive labelling for antigens that require pretreatment by other methods, and previously unreactive antigens were detected. Primary antibodies could be used at up to 200 times higher dilutions.

conclusionThe tyramide enhanced immunostaining method, while retaining specificity, is highly sensitive and enables an increased number and range of antigens to be detected than previously possible. The method could be applied to BMT sections for the routine diagnosis and classification of haematological disorders.
