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

AX3, a monoclonal antibody raised against isolated microtubule-organizing centers of Dictyostelium discoideum, stains microtubule-containing structures in species ranging from Dictyostelium to human. On immunoblots, the AX3 antibody recognizes heat-stable proteins in the 260- to 280-kDa molecular-mass range in a number of different species. The AX3 antigens from HeLa and embryonic mouse fibroblast cells coprecipitate with microtubules in vitro, indicating that these antigens are, indeed, MAPs. The AX3 antigens are not immunologically related to the mammalian MAP-2 or MAP-4 but are related to the 205-kDa MAP of Drosophila. This report describes a structural-type MAP in Dictyostelium and a MAP that is detected in a wide variety of species. The Drosophila 205-kDa MAP had previously been proposed to represent a member of the MAP-4 class of proteins. From the results reported here, however, it is suggested that proteins recognized by AX3 monoclonal antibody, including the Drosophila 205-kDa MAP, represent a distinct class of MAPs that has been widely conserved through evolution.
