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

objectiveRecently, we characterized mouse monoclonal antibodies that allow the specific and sensitive detection of human histamine N-methyltransferase (HNMT). To understand differences in binding characteristics and recognition of enzyme variants we mapped the antibody binding sites.

methodsFragments of human HNMT were expressed as glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins that were used for testing antibody binding on immunoblots. Combined information from species cross-reactivity, sequence comparison, protein structure, and binding site prediction software were used to localize the epitope recognized by each antibody.

resultsAll eight monoclonal HNMT antibodies bound to linear epitopes in the C-terminal domain of the 292 amino acid protein. Of the five antibodies cross-reacting with HNMT from other species, one bound region L

conclusionsOur HNMT monoclonal antibodies bind in three different regions of the protein and those binding the same putative epitope exhibit similar binding characteristics and species cross-reactivity. Antibodies binding non-overlapping epitopes will facilitate analyses of all clinically relevant variants described for HNMT.
