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

Transgenic lines of mice were derived by using plasmid constructs containing DNA encoding an antibody heavy chain variable-diversity-joining region (VH-D-JH) and various amounts of 5' and 3' flanking DNA but lacking any repetitive isotype switch (S) or constant (C) region DNA. Unexpectedly, many of the antibody VH regions expressed by B-cell hybridomas generated from immunized transgenic mice were found to be of transgenic origin. Further analyses showed that somatic events had generated hybrid genomic loci in the mice containing the transgenic VH-D-JH gene and plasmid sequences 5' of endogenous heavy chain C region genes. Thus, VH-D-JH transgenes lacking S and C region DNA can recombine with endogenous Igh DNA, leading to the expression of transgene-encoded antibody.
