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

Two monoclonal antibodies were applied to benign, dysplastic, and malignant human colorectal tissues using immunohistochemical techniques on formalin fixed paraffin embedded material. RAP-5 antibody is directed against a synthetic peptide, reflecting an amino acid sequence of the ras oncogene p21 protein product. Despite using several different techniques and antibody dilutions differential staining between the various epithelial populations was not obtained. RAP-5 also showed other tissue components such as plasma cells, histiocytes, fibroblasts, smooth muscle and vascular endothelium. CA19-9 antibody recognizes an epithelial surface carbohydrate antigen originally derived from a human colorectal carcinoma cell line: it did not stain normal colorectal mucosa or adenomatous polyps, but showed focal expression of variable strength in regenerative, dysplastic, and cancerous mucosa in ulcerative colitis, and in non-colitic colorectal carcinoma. Neither antibody was found to be a reliable marker of the evolution of malignant mucosal changes, although CA19-9 may be of limited use in confirming adenocarcinoma of gastrointestinal origin.
