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

Using subtractive immunization to identify cell surface epitopes expressed in a metastasis-specific fashion on cells of the rat MT-W9 mammary carcinoma model, we generated a monoclonal antibody called M-N#1. This antibody binds specifically to metastasizing cells of the MT-W9 series and also to certain other metastasizing rat mammary carcinoma cell lines. We demonstrate that the M-N#1 antibody recognizes a fucosylated N-glycosyl sugar modification, and furthermore show that the epitope specificity of the M-N#1 antibody is for blood group antigen B subtypes 2, 3 and 4 with slight cross-reactivity with blood group antigen A subtype 2. The expression of these carbohydrate epitopes on MT-450 cells is functionally important, because the M-N#1 antibody efficiently inhibits MT-450 tumour growth in spontaneous metastasis assays. These results suggest that expression of the subtypes of blood group antigen B recognized by the M-N#1 antibody does not directly participate in the metastatic cascade but rather confers a growth or survival advantage on the tumour cells.
