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 VH gene (Ox1) has a major role in the early antibody response of several mouse strains to hapten phenyloxazolone (phOx). Antibodies that are coded by this gene are positive for idiotype 495. Idiotype-positive monoclonal antibodies originating from the early primary response of nine strains were partially sequenced (mRNA). All 21 antibodies were coded by this gene, most of them also by one VL gene, VKOx1(H3). Very few somatic mutations were found, and the germ-line sequence of the two genes in several strains can be predicted. Four 'alleles' of the VHOx1 gene have 99-99.7% sequence homology to each other. One allele was found in Igh allotype j strains CBA and C3H, another in allotype c strains DBA/2 and RF, the third in allotype f strain CE and the fourth in BALB/c, 129, A/J and RIII mice (allotypes a, e or g). The VKOx1(H3) gene has the same sequence in eight strains. RF mice do not use this gene for the anti-phOx response. Our data suggest that antibody responses are inherited to a considerable extent and that immunoglobulin V genes are as stable as other genes in evolution.
