Circulation autoantibodies against C-terminus of NuMA in patients with Behçet's disease.
Article in Central-European journal of immunology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Circulating autoantibodies have a close association with autoimmune diseases, which may be seen even in healthy individuals. These are also considered as promising source of new biomarkers in various autoimmune diseases. However, their profile is not completely understood till now. Here, we evaluated autoantibodies against nuclear mitotic apparatus protein located at the carboxy terminus (C-NuMA)in blood circulation of Han Chinese patients, using different technical approaches to discover pathological reaction leading to Behçet's disease (BD). In the first step, the recombinant human carboxy-terminal region of NuMA peptide (C-NuMA) was over-expressed and purified. In the second step, the indirect immunofluorescence method was used with patients' sera, and commercial anti-NuMA antibody was used to determine the NuMA as a potential autoantigen. Results were confirmed at cell level by western blots, indicating that two of ten patients with Behçet's disease could react with the recombinant C-NuMA,and the presence of antibodies were further verified by immunoprecipitation technique. Finally, the corresponding immunoassay (ELISA) was developed and optimized with specific recombinant C-NuMA as an in vitro method to test the confirmed patients with Behçet's disease. Our findings demonstrated that C-terminus of NuMA is an immune target of Behçet's disease in Han Chinese patients.
