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

aimTo determine the optimum form of labelling and the most efficient reporter molecule for non-radioisotopic in situ hybridisation (ISH).

methodsNine deoxyoligonucleotides complementary to histone mRNA were synthesised and labelled either enzymatically or during solid-phase synthesis with the reporter molecules digoxigenin, 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP), or alkaline phosphatase. Pooled deoxyoligonucleotide cocktails were then used in non-radioisotopic ISH detection of histone mRNA in human tonsil. Hybrid detection was by nitroblue tetrazoleum/5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate colorimetric development.

resultsThe use of a spacer in 3' enzymatic labelling and when labelling with alkaline phosphatase significantly increased ISH signal. The 3' and 5' labelling of oligonucleotides with triple DNP groups during solid-phase synthesis produced the strongest signal as determined by the highest cell signal intensity and shortest development time.

conclusions3' and 5' solid-phase labelling with triple DNP groups produced the best labelling for non-isotopic ISH using deoxyoligonucleotide cocktails.
