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

The epitope recognized by the murine monoclonal antibody (mAB lu-5) recently described as a formaldehyde-resistant, "pan-epithelial marker" of great value in tumour diagnosis is located on the surface of cytokeratin filaments. It has been preserved during vertebrate evolution from amphibia to man. As this epitope is not reactive after SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), the epitope-bearing protein has been identified by a dot-blot antibody binding assay, using purified proteins in which the epitope is reconstituted. We show that the epitope is present in most cytokeratin polypeptides of both the acidic (type I) and basic (type II) subfamily but does not occur in other cytoskeletal proteins. The location of this widespread epitope is discussed with respect to homologies of amino acid sequences of cytokeratins and their conformations.
