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

Membrane proteins are the molecular interface of the cell and its environs; however, studies of membrane proteins are highly technically challenging, mainly due to instability of the isolated protein. Towards the production of antibodies that recognize properly folded and stabilized forms of membrane protein antigen, we describe a DNA-based immunization method for mice that expresses the antigen in the membranes of dendritic cells, thus allowing direct presentation to the immune system. This genetic immunization approach employs a highly efficient method of biolistic delivery based on DNA-gold micronanoplexes, which are complexes of micron-sized gold particles that allow dermal penetration and nanometer-sized gold particles that provide a higher surface area for DNA binding than micron gold alone. In contrast to antibodies derived from immunizations with detergent-solubilized protein or with protein fragments, antibodies from genetic immunization are expected to have a high capacity for binding conformational epitopes and for modulating membrane protein activity. © 2018 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
