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

A total of 16 hybrid myeloma clones secreting monoclonal antibodies (McAb) to rabbit or human serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) were derived from the fusion of spleen cells from LOU or DA rats immunized with rabbit or human LDL and the rat myeloma lines Y3 Ag1.2.3 or YB2/0. Anti-(rabbit LDL) McAb showed limited reactivity with LDL from human, rhesus-monkey, rat and mouse serum. Six out of seven anti-(human LDL) McAb reacted with rhesus-monkey LDL, and only one showed partial cross-reaction with rabbit LDL. Binding-competition experiments indicated that the epitopes recognized by the anti-(rabbit LDL) IgG could be grouped into two major clusters: McAb in the first cluster reacted either with apo-(lipoprotein B-100) (apoB-100) and apo-(lipoprotein B-74) (apoB-74) or with apoB-100 but not with apo-(lipoprotein B-48) (apoB-48), the lower-Mr form of apoB of intestinal origin; the McAb in the second cluster all reacted with apoB-48 in addition to apoB-100 or apoB-100 and apoB-74. The six anti-(human LDL) IgG bound to separate epitopes on LDL. Further data on the epitope specificity of these McAb were obtained by antibody blotting after partial proteolysis of apoB-100 with trypsin or staphylococcal V8 proteinase, and the data confirmed the results obtained with the binding-competition experiments. One McAb to rabbit LDL inhibited the binding of LDL to the fibroblast LDL receptor (50% inhibition at a McAb/LDL molar ratio of 10). A similar result was produced by two other McAb at higher concentrations of antibody.
