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

Antibodies highly specific to human immunoglobulin (Ig) E are capable of selectively blocking the IgE interaction or eliminating IgE-producing cells, thus providing valuable agents for diagnostics and treatment of various allergic illness. An example is omalizumab, a humanized monoclonal anti-IgE antibody that is approved for the treatment of patients with moderate-to-severe allergic diseases in the United States, European Union and other countries. Here, we describe the generation and characterization of a novel human anti-IgE as a single-chain antibody fragment (scFv). The bacterially-synthesized scFv showed high affinity (86 nM) and specificity to the Fc region of human IgE. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the production of a human anti-IgE scFv in E. coli. Its further development as a potential candidate for medical applications is discussed.
