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

Immune complexes of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) with homologous IgG antibody induces rheumatoid factor (RF) predominantly of the IgG class in normal mice, while LPS alone induces mostly IgM RF directed to homologous IgG1. In this study, IgG monoclonal RFs (mRF) were prepared from hybridomas derived from spleen cells of BALB/c mice which were immunized with complexes of TNP-LPS with anti-TNP mouse IgG and their specificity to mouse IgG subclasses was assessed by analysing dissociation kinetics of the ligands due to RF-specific and non-specific interactions. Of the 19 IgG mRFs (11 IgG1, five IgG2a, one IgG2b and two IgG3 types) tested, 14 were directed to either IgG3 or IgG2b or both, while only one exhibited a significant binding capacity to IgG1. Other mRFs, although reactive to rabbit IgG, exhibited little homophilic activity. None of these mRFs reacted strongly with their own isotypes. The results suggest that the IgG RF producing cells are not direct progenies of the IgG1-directed IgM RF-producing cells but may have developed via a rigorous selection process to eliminate clones that produce self-reactive RF.
