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

This study aimed to establish a general and efficient dissociation technique for detecting antibodies in circulating immune complexes (CICs) in serum and to evaluate its clinical application. CICs were efficiently separated from specimens using polyethylene glycol double-precipitation. The best conditions for anti-HBs dissociation from HBsAg-ICs were a pH of 1.80, incubation at 15 °C for 5-10 min, and detection within 10 min after neutralization. The mean dissociation rate, reproducibility, mean dissociation recovery rate and specificity of the new technique were 64.3%, < 5.97, 95.4 and 100%, respectively. They had a favourable linear relationship (r = 0.9932), and the stability of the reagents exceeded 24 months, except the CIC antibody dissociation reagent (> 12 months). Conditions for the dissociation of other CICs tested were similar, but there were differences in the rate of antibody dissociation. Different HBV-M patterns had significantly different levels and rates of antibody dissociation from HBsAg-IC (P < 0.05), and the detection rates of the corresponding antibodies in HCV, core-anti-HCV core antibody (HCV-ICs), HIV P24-anti-HIV P24 antibody (HIV-ICs), insulin-anti-insulin antibody (INS-ICs) and thyroid globulin-anti-thyroid globulin antibody CICs (TG-ICs) were 34.8, 66.7, 20 and 14.3%, respectively. These data suggest that our CIC antibody dissociation technique is a good general pretreatment technique for the detection of antibodies after the precipitation, separation and dissociation of multiple CICs.
