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 monoclonal antibody (anti-IFA) raised (Pruss et al., 1981, Cell 27:419-428) against an intermediate filament antigen, which is widespread throughout phylogeny, has been shown here to cross-react with higher plants. On immunoblotting, anti-IFA cross-reacted with proteins in homogenates of carrot suspension cells and of meristematic cells from onion root tips. A 50-kD cross-reactive protein was enriched in a fraction that consisted of detergent-insoluble bundles of 7-nm fibrils from carrot protoplasts (Powell et al., 1982, J. Cell Sci. 56:319-335). By use of indirect immunofluorescence, anti-IFA stained formaldehyde-fixed onion meristematic cells and carrot protoplasts in patterns approximating those obtained with monoclonal anti-tubulins. That anti-IFA was not recognizing plant tubulins was established by use of immunoblots of two-dimensional gels on which the proteins that comprised isolated fibrillar bundles and taxol-purified carrot tubulins had been separated. The two groups of proteins had different positional coordinates: anti-IFA recognized the fibrillar bundle proteins, and anti-tubulins recognized plant microtubule proteins with no cross-reaction to the heterologous proteins. Likewise, formaldehyde-fixed taxol microtubules from carrot cells could be stained with anti-tubulin but not with anti-IFA. It is concluded that an epitope common to intermediate filaments from animals co-distributes with microtubules in higher plant cells.
