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

objectiveTo identify rheumatoid arthritis (RA) specific autoantibody and its antigen in the human osteoblast-like cell line, MG-63.

methodsMG-63 cell extract was subjected to western blotting by using RA and normal serum samples as probes. The autoantigen was purified and its N-terminal sequence was determined by automated Edman degradation. The reactivity of denatured aldolase A was evaluated by immunoblotting. Screening by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using the autoantibody was performed.

results40 kDa protein was found only in the RA serum samples and it was identified as aldolase A. A polyclonal antibody for rabbit muscle aldolase A bound to the 40 kDa protein and reacted in preference with the denatured enzyme. Using ELISA for denatured rabbit aldolase A, the autoantibody was found in approximately 10% of RA patients, whereas it was not found in the other arthropathy and healthy adults.

conclusionThis 40 kDa anti-aldolase A autoantibody, which was identified only in serum samples of RA patients with severe bone erosion, could be related to a certain event that induces RA specific joint destructions.
