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

backgroundZNF32 has been predicted to be a zinc finger protein and is involved in cell differentiation and tumor development, but its precise function is unknown. Specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been widely used in research and clinical diagnosis and treatments. Therefore, we established an anti-ZNF32 mAb to characterize this protein's function. MATERIAL/

methodsPeptide⁴⁹⁻⁶³, a specific small peptide of ZNF32, was chosen and the synthetic keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH)-peptide⁴⁹⁻⁶³ was used as an antigen to immunize mice. A mAb against peptide⁴⁹⁻⁶³ was generated by hybridoma technology, and hybridoma cells were screened by limiting dilution. The isoform of mAb-pZNF32-8D9 was identified by double agar diffusion. The sensitivity and specificity of the mAb and expressed levels of ZNF32 in various cells and tissues were identified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry, and Western blotting.

resultsA stable anti-pZNF32-8D9 hybridoma secreting the anti-peptide49-63 mAb was established and the clone positive to the peptide⁴⁹⁻⁶³ in supernatant was 92% in ELISA. The mAb-pZNF32-8D9 is an immunoglobulin-1 that can be used for detecting the ZNF32 protein by immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry, and Western blotting and is highly sensitive and specific. We also found ZNF32 expressed at high levels in Jurkat and pulmonary squamous carcinoma cells, but it was not expressed in squamous epidermis cells.

conclusionsmAb-pZNF32-8D9 can be used for the identification and expression of ZNF32. It might also provide a new tool for diagnostics or therapy for ZNF32-related diseases.
