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

backgroundPancreatic carcinoma is the fourth-leading cause of cancer death in the United States and due to its late presentation, only few patients would be candidates for the curative treatment of pancreactomy. Monoclonal antibodies have brought hope to targeted therapy.

objectivesTo identify new biomarkers, a panel of monoclonal antibodies was generated against newly established cell line, Faraz-ICR from a patient with pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma. MATERIAL AND

methodsBalb/c female mice were immunized with Faraz-ICR cell line and their spleenocytes fused with SP2/0 myeloma cell line. Highly reactive hybridoma producing antibodies against Faraz-ICR was detected using ELISA, immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry. Western blot and 2D immunoblot were utilized for further characterization of the target antibodies.

resultsAmong highly reactive clones, the reactivity of 7C11 clone was assessed in comparison to other epithelial tumors. The antibody isotype was IgM that reacted with a 55 kDa protein in western blot analysis. To further characterize the target antigen, immunoproteome of the Faraz-ICR cell line was performed. By LC-MS analysis, the target of 7C11 clone was identified to be vimentin.

conclusionsPancreatic cancer is a highly lethal malignancy with no reliable biomarker for early detection and diagnosis. In this study, by establishing a pancreatic acinar carcinoma cell line, a panel of monoclonal antibodies was generated to identify specific or associated cancer targets. Furthermore, 7C11 mAb was introduced that can specifically recognizes vimentin as a tumor marker. This antibody may serve as a new tool for prognostic and therapeutic strategies.
