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

The prevalence and diversity of anti-Sm antibodies (which are a marker of human lupus) were investigated in MRL/MP-lpr/lpr mice. The low prevalence of anti-Sm reported by other workers was confirmed. Anti-Sm antibodies bound to either the 28 kD or both 28 and 16 kD polypeptides on immunoblots. Antibodies to the 16 kD polypeptide, detected on spectrotyping blots, were not detected on immunoblots probed with sera from three mice, suggesting that these antibodies were binding only to an additional conformational epitope. Isoelectric focusing of the sera showed that the anti-Sm antibodies were restricted in clonal diversity and in some cases resembled the pattern of a monoclonal antibody. A longitudinal increase in antibody titre was correlated in some mice with an increase in the diversity of clones expressing anti-Sm antibody. Anti-nRNP antibodies were also detected in the mouse serum but had a lower prevalence than anti-Sm antibodies.
