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

We have used a quantitative immunoblotting technique to analyze the repertoires of self-reactive antibodies in serum samples obtained from the same five healthy adults over a 25-year interval. The average age of the donors was 43 years at the time of the first serum sample and 69 years at the time of the second serum sample. The antibody repertoires of IgM and IgG were found to be strikingly similar among individuals in both early and late samples. Densitometric profiles of self-reactivity of serum IgM and of purified serum IgG remained unchanged over the 25-year interval. The total reactivity of serum IgG decreased significantly over the 25-year period. The observed stability of the natural self-reactive IgM and IgG antibody repertoires with aging supports the view that autoreactive B cells in the normal immune system are positively selected for reactivity with a limited set of immunodominant self-antigens throughout life.
