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

We have previously reported the isolation of a membrane-attack-complex-inhibiting protein (MIP) from human erythrocyte membranes [Watts, Patel & Morgan (1987) Complement 4, 236] and the production of polyclonal antibodies to this protein. Here we report the identification in plasma, urine, saliva and cerebrospinal fluid of a protein immunochemically identical with the membrane-derived MIP. The protein has been isolated from plasma by immunoaffinity chromatography on an anti-(erythrocyte MIP)-Sepharose column and shown by SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis to be of similar molecular mass to the erythrocyte protein (55 kDa non-reduced and 65 kDa under reducing conditions). Monoclonal antibodies have been raised against plasma MIP and used to establish a two-site enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay, enabling quantification of MIP in plasma, urine and cerebrospinal fluid. Plasma MIP, though not able to incorporate spontaneously into membranes, was deposited on heterologous and homologous erythrocyte membranes during complement activation in a C8-dependent manner. Depletion of MIP from plasma resulted in enhancement of the lytic capacity of the plasma on heterologous erythrocytes.
