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

objectiveTo identify ovarian autoantigens associated with ovarian autoantibodies.

designHypothesis-generating prospective study.

settingUrban infertility referral centers and academic research institution. PATIENT(S): Seventy-four patients with infertility, 19 patients with premature ovarian failure (POF), and 16 healthy control women. INTERVENTION(S): None. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Identification of autoantigens. RESULT(S): To identify major antigens for ovarian autoimmunity, sera from 74 women with unexplained infertility were screened for ovarian autoantibodies (AOAs) by immunoassay and one-dimensional Western blot. The majority of sera had immunoreactions at 50-56 kDa. Six representative positive infertility sera were used to identify antigens between 40 and 60 kD by two-dimensional Western blot and mass spectrometry. Antigens included aldehyde (retinal) dehydrogenases (ALDH1A1, ALDH1A2, and ALDH7A1), protein disulfide isomerase A3, vimentin, α-enolase, phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase, and selenium-binding protein 1 (SBP1). Sixty percent (24 out of 40) of infertility and POF sera were positive for recombinant ALDH1A1, SBP1, or enolase; 80.7% (21 out of 26) of AOA-positive sera had antibodies to one or more of the three antigens, and only 7% (1 out of 14) of AOA-negative sera had antibodies to recombinant proteins. CONCLUSION(S): ALDH1A1 and SBP1 are unique to ovarian autoimmunity associated with infertility and POF, and may provide the basis for specific tests to identify patients with ovarian autoimmunity.
