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

IL-37 has been described as a natural inhibitor of immune responses. Monoclonal antibody (mAb) against human IL-37b with high affinity and specificity can serve as a molecular probe to detect IL-37 and study IL-37 functions, mechanisms and related signal pathways in inflammatory diseases. However, there are very few such mAbs against human IL-37 commercially available so far. In the current study, monoclonal antibodies against human IL-37b were developed by fusing splenocytes from immunized mouse with SP2/0 myeloma cells and polyethylene glycol. Then the antibodies were screened with prokaryotic expressed human IL-37b protein and eukaryotic expressed human IL-37b protein subsequently. Western blot and flow cytometry analysis revealed that selected mAb clons were able to recognize human IL-37 with high specificity. And more importantly, the IL-37b mAbs were fluorescently labeled and can be directly used in flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry. In conclusion, the current study developed new mAbs against human IL-37b, which are applicable in flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry.
