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

A syngeneic murine model system was used to study the immunobiology of metastasis. The highly malignant RAW117-H10 cell line was compared to the less malignant parental RAW117-P cell line from which it was derived, for expression of cell surface antigens. Using rabbit antisera, two major glycoprotein antigens were detected on the tumor cell surfaces. Antigen-I was uniformly distributed over the surface of these cells whereas antigen-II had a patchy, punctate distribution. Antigen-I was displayed less on RAW117-H10 cells than on RAW117-P cells, while the expression of the other serologically distinct antigen (antigen-II) was increased on RAW117-H10 cells compared to the less malignant parental (RAW117-P) cells. This differential antigen expression was assessed by immunodiffusion, a 125I-labeled protein-A binding assay, flow cytometry and rocket immunoelectrophoresis. Both these antigens had a molecular weight of 70,000 daltons. Antigen-I bound the lectin concanavalin-A whereas antigen-II did not, suggesting that antigen-I might be the viral envelope glycoprotein gp70. The identity of antigen-II is presently unknown. Syngeneic Balb/c mice injected with highly malignant and metastatic RAW117-H10 cells coated with antiserum to antigen-I were protected from early death; this effect was not seen with RAW117-H10 cells coated with antiserum to antigen-II. The opsonizing qualities of these antisera may be different due to antibody to antigen-II being shed more rapidly than antibody to antigen-I.
