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 human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) family plays an important role in cell growth and signaling and alteration of its function has been demonstrated in many different kinds of cancer. Receptor dimerization is necessary for the HER signal transduction pathway and tyrosine kinase activity. Recently, several monoclonal antibodies have been developed to directly interfere with ligand-HER receptor binding and receptor dimerization. A single chain variable fragment (ScFv) is a valuable alternative to an intact antibody. This report describes the production and purification of an ScFv specific for domain II of the HER2 receptor in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cytoplasm. The majority of expressed of anti-her2his-ScFv protein was produced as inclusion bodies. A Ni-NTA affinity column was used to purify the anti-her2his-ScFv protein. The molecular weight of anti-her2his-ScFv protein was estimated to be approximately 27 kDa, as confirmed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting assay. The anti-her2his-ScFv showed near 95 % purity and reached a yield of approximately 29 mg/l in flask fermentation. The purified anti-her2his-ScFv showed its biological activity by binding to HER2 receptor on the surface of BT-474 cells. This ScFv may be a potential pharmaceutical candidate for targeting tumour cells overexpressing HER2 receptor.
