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

Calreticulin (CRT), a luminal resident calcium-binding glycoprotein of the cell, is a tumor-associated antigen involved in tumorigenesis and also an autoantigen targeted by autoantibodies found in patients with various autoimmune diseases. We have previously shown that prokaryotically expressed recombinant murine CRT (rCRT) exhibits strong stimulatory activities against monocytes/macrophages in vitro and potent immunogenicity in vivo, which is partially attributable to self-oligomerization of soluble rCRT. However, even in oligomerized form native CRT (nCRT) isolated from mouse liver is much less active than rCRT, arguing against the possibility that self-oligomerization alone would license potent pro-inflammatory properties to nCRT. Since rCRT differs from nCRT in its lack of glycosylation, we wondered if aberrant glycosylation of eukaryotically expressed CRT (eCRT) would significantly enhance its immunological activity. In the present study, tunicamycin, an
