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

Covalently immobilized rat anti-human immunoglobulin (IgG) monolayers on thiol-modified gold substrates and human IgG linked with the tips were fabricated using the self-assembled monolayer method, and interactions between these systems were studied by friction force microscopy (FFM). In addition to observation of distinct nanostructures of protein monolayers due to recognition events, FFM also quantified the friction force due to protein-protein-specific interactions. The average friction force due to interactions between the antigen functionalized tip and the antibody monolayer was determined as 200-250 pN, significantly greater than that between either the bare tip and the antibody monolayer (0-50 pN), or the blocked antigen tip and the antibody monolayer (50-100 pN), indicative of antigen/antibody-specific interactions. These results, taken together, suggest that FFM is not only capable of tracking recognition events, but also quantifying the friction force due to specific interactions between biological molecules, such as antigen and antibody.
