Determining antibody stoichiometry using time-integrated fluorescence cumulant analysis.
Article in The journal of physical chemistry. B, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
We applied fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy to resolve the binding heterogeneity of fluorescently labeled ligand derived from brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), a widely used diagnostic marker of heart failure, to a corresponding monoclonal antibody. This system includes three species: (1) free ligand molecules, (2) antibody with a single site occupied, and (3) antibody with both sites occupied. The method we used, time-integrated fluorescence cumulant analysis (TIFCA), utilizes cumulants of fluorescence fluctuations to resolve subpopulations of multiple fluorescent species freely diffusing in a solution. The values of the cumulants depend on the concentration, molecular brightness and diffusion time of the fluorescent molecules. The number of molecules in each species reflects the antibody affinity. We apply TIFCA to successfully establish the stoichiometry of the system, estimate affinity, and identify the presence of an inactive fraction of antigen in a single titration experiment.
