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

backgroundAvidity of antiphospholipid antibodies may be clinically useful as a valuable additional characteristic. The aim of this study was to compare several ELISA modifications with different chaotropic agents and calculation of avidity indices for the determination of anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) avidity.

methodsWe examined 28 serum samples with positive IgG aCL by adapted ELISA using various concentrations of urea and sodium chloride as chaotropic agents and different dilution of sera. We tested these conditions of ELISA-a single diluted serum sample with fixed concentration of a chaotrope and a serially diluted serum in the constant concentration of a chaotropic agent.

resultsWe demonstrated that ELISA method for avidity determination based on a single dilution of serum in the presence of fixed concentration of chaotrope is convenient for determination of IgG aCL antibody avidity. Concentrations 6 and 8 mol/L of urea or 1 and 2 mol/L of NaCl were suitable for sufficient dissociation of immune complexes during ELISA procedure.

conclusionThis way was in good agreement with more demanding procedures. Both urea and sodium chloride may be used as chaotropic agents. Reference values of avidity indices essential for interpretation of patients' results must be established individually for distinct assay conditions.
