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 produced a small library of colonic mucosa and colorectal carcinoma reactive monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) by immunizations with extracts of human colon cancer tissue and a human colon cancer cell line. Hybridoma supernatants were tested on (normal and neoplastic) human tissues by immunoperoxidase methods to evaluate organ or tissue specificity. Initial biochemical characterization of the target antigens was performed by gelpermeation chromatography, Western blotting and competition assays. Based upon the immunoreactivity patterns and the characteristics of the antigen four groups of MoAbs could be distinguished. The first group concerns the antibodies PARLAM 3, 9 and 10. These antibodies react with an 87 kDa protein moiety in high molecular weight (2-5 x 10(6) Da) glycoproteins. In intestinal and colon mucosa these antibodies showed diffuse binding with goblet cells. In colon carcinoma decreased reactivity with these MoAbs was found. The second group consists of antibodies PARLAM 8, 12 and 13. These antibodies react with large (greater than 5 x 10(6) Da) glycoproteins, most likely with carbohydrate epitopes. By immunohistochemistry in normal colon mucosa the antibodies all show granular supranuclear reactivity with goblet cells. These antibodies show increased reactivity with colon adenomas and adenocarcinomas. A third group is formed by PARLAM 2, which also reacts with a large (greater than 5 x 10(6) Da) glycoprotein, showing a granular distribution in goblet cells. In colon carcinomas more extensive expression is found than in normal colonic mucosa. Finally, the fourth group consists of PARLAM 11, which also reacts with a large (greater than 5 x 10(6) Da) glycoprotein, located in the brush border of colonic columnar cells. These antibodies might be useful tools for the analysis of the expression of mucin related glycoproteins in normal, preneoplastic and neoplastic colon mucosa.
