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

Unspecific antibody binding takes a significant toll on researchers in the form of both the economic burden and the disappointed hopes of promising new therapeutic targets. Despite recent initiatives promoting antibody validation, a uniform approach addressing this issue has not yet been developed. Here, we demonstrate that the anti-glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antibody clone 5E4 predominantly targets two different proteins of approximately the same size, namely AMP deaminase 2 (AMPD2) and transcription intermediary factor 1-beta (TRIM28). This paper is intended to generate awareness of unspecific binding of well-established reagents and advocate the use of more rigorous verification methods to improve antibody quality in the future.
