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

Fifty-five serum samples from patients with reactive arthritis (ReA), 40 from patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and three from patients with chronic sacroiliac joint arthritis were analysed for the presence of ANCA of IgG class by means of enzyme immunosorbent assay using lactoferrin (Lf), myeloperoxidase (MPO) and antigen extracted from azurophil granules ('alpha-antigen') containing proteinase 3 (PR3) as substrate. IgG-ANCA were found in 31 (56%) patients with ReA. Twenty-three (42%) had anti-Lf antibodies, nine (16%) had anti-MPO and eight (15%) had anti-alpha-antigen antibodies, none of which reacted with PR3. Only six (14%) AS or sacroiliac joint arthritis patients had ANCA (P < 0.001). Three (7%) had anti-Lf, two (5%) anti-MPO and two (5%) anti-alpha-antigen antibodies. Yersinia and Salmonella bacteria were separated by SDS-PAGE and blots were incubated with serum from rabbits immunized with human Lf. The hyperimmune serum recognized a band of 78 kD from both bacteria which was not seen when preimmune serum was used. The reaction to the 78-kD antigen could be completely inhibited when anti-Lf antibodies were absorbed on Lf coupled to cyanogen bromide-activated Sepharose, possibly indicating cross-reacting epitopes in Lf and enterobacterial antigen.
