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

Human hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies in a stable manner are difficult to develop. The main difficulties are the restricted techniques for B-cell immortalization, the low number of sensitized B cells in peripheral blood, and the impossibility, for ethical reasons, to immunize humans with most antigens. Phage display has proved to be a powerful method for the generation of recombinant antibody fragments. This technology relies on the construction of recombinant Fab or scFv libraries and their display on phage M13. In order to rescue unstable B-cell clones secreting human antibodies we set up a method for the selection by phage display of human IgG fragments from Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed clones and applied it to the selection by phage display of Fabs directed against HIV-1 gp120, using a seropositive blood sample. The approach combines B-cell transformation by EBV of peripheral blood lymphocytes from a seropositive donor, preselection of specific IgG anti-gp120 producing clones, and the construction of a targeted human antibody library. In this library the percentage of heavy and light chain coding sequences expressed in Escherichia coli, amplified by a set of specific 5' primers for different antibody germ lines, was similar to that observed with the original untransformed B-cell sample. One round of panning was sufficient for the rescue of three Fabs specific for HIV-1 gp120 protein, which proves the efficiency of this technique.
