Individual recombinant repeats of MUC16 display variable binding to CA125 antibodies.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDespite its importance in the clinical management of ovarian cancer, the CA125 biomarker-located on the mucin protein MUC16-is still not completely understood. Questions remain about MUC16's function and structure, specifically the identity and location of the CA125 epitopes.
objectiveThe goal of this study was to characterize the interaction of individual recombinant repeats from the tandem repeat domain of MUC16 with antibodies used in the clinical CA125 II test.
methodsUsing
resultsEach recombinant repeat was recognized by a different combination of CA125 antibodies. OC125 and "OC125-like" antibodies did not bind the same set of recombinant repeats, nor did M11 and "M11-like" antibodies.
conclusionsCharacterization of the interactions between MUC16 recombinant repeats and CA125 antibodies will contribute to ongoing efforts to identify the CA125 epitopes and improve our understanding of this important biomarker.
