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

Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are the most potent toxins on Earth and are classified as Category A biological agents. BoNTs lead to paralysis in humans and cause botulism. Antibody therapeutics can effectively treat toxin-mediated infectious diseases. In this study, we generated a pharmaceutical humanized monoclonal antibody (HZ45 mAb) to prevent or treat botulism. HZ45 binds to the heavy chain receptor (HCR) domain of the toxin, preventing the toxin from entering the cell. The mAb was produced using hybridoma technology and phage display. We evaluated HZ45 mAb for the neutralization of BoNT serotype A (BoNT/A) in mice and rabbits. The survival results showed that pretreatment with HZ45 mAb provided 100% protection at a dose of 0.1 mg per mouse against a maximum of 100 LD
