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

Low titers of blood circulating anti-NMDAR1 autoantibodies have been reported in a significant subset of the general human population. Currently, immunohistochemical staining and cell-based assays are the standard methods for their detection and semi-quantification. However, detection and quantification of these low titers of blood circulating anti-NMDAR1 autoantibodies are problematic because of high non-specific background. Development of a new method to more accurately quantify these low titers of blood anti-NMDAR1 autoantibodies will facilitate studies on their potential impacts on psychiatric symptoms and cognition. We previously reported a robust production of anti-NMDAR1 autoantibodies against the ligand binding domain of NMDAR1. As a proof of principle, we report the development of a novel simple immunoassay for quantification of cross-species blood anti-NMDAR1 autoantibodies and its validation with immunohistochemistry and cell-based assays in both humans and mice. Specificity of our quantification was also investigated.
