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

Phosphorylation state specific antibodies are important reagents for characterizing protein phosphorylation and signaling. However, these antibodies require proper validation to determine that they do not cross-react with the unphosphorylated peptide or with other phosphoproteins. We have previously shown that phosphorylation of tyrosine1056 of ErbB4 is critical for it to inhibit colony formation on plastic by human tumor cell lines. Thus, an antibody directed against this site would be useful for studying ErbB4 signaling and coupling to biological responses. Here, we demonstrate that a commercially available antibody raised against a phosphopeptide corresponding to the carboxyl-terminal domain of the ErbB4 receptor tyrosine kinase fails to exhibit appropriate specificity. Thus, this antibody does not appear to be suitable for studying ErbB4 phosphorylation or signaling.
