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

A technique was developed with flow cytometry to quantify the two immediate-early proteins ZEBRA and Rta, which are involved in the activation of Epstein-Barr virus replication. We evaluated four monoclonal antibodies on four cell lines (B95-8, RAJI, Namalwa, and P3HR1) with varying levels of expression of these replication-phase antigens. The Namalwa lymphoma cell line was used as a negative control. Four fixation-permeabilization procedures were compared. The preparation of cells with paraformaldehyde and methanol in sequence, and antigen detection with AZ125 and AR 5A9 monoclonal antibodies, were found to be the optimal conditions in these cell lines. Our procedure allowed ZEBRA antigen to be detected in 4.85% of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from a transplant recipient with a lymphoproliferative disease.
