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

backgroundEwing sarcoma (ES) is a rare tumor that affects children, adolescents, and young adults. ES is associated with high morbidity in all patients and high mortality for those who present with metastatic disease. A chromosomal translocation, either t(11;22)(q24;p12) or t(21;22)(q22;q12) leads to the fusion oncoproteins EWS::FLI1 or EWS::ERG in 95% of ES patients. We recognized a critical need for a stably sourced high-affinity antibody that recognizes EWS::FLI1 with maximal specificity. Understanding EWS::FLI1 protein complexes is a pivotal gap in ES knowledge that necessitates the development of antibodies capable of identifying native proteins in solution. Further, variable epitope sequencing of a monoclonal antibody enables the construction of degraders and nanobody identifiers.

methodsMonoclonal antibodies were produced following informed peptide synthesis, injection, and hybridoma creation. Hybridoma antibodies were validated for specificity and function.

resultsOur results indicate that the FLI1 1.2 monoclonal antibody, which recognizes the EWS::FLI1 fusion oncoprotein, can be reliably applied to multiple molecular biology applications like immunoblot, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry. This FLI1 1.2 monoclonal antibody has a high affinity of 0.3 nM KD to EWS::FLI1. In terms of specificity, this antibody is highly specific to EWS::FLI1 and some cross reactivity with ERG.

conclusionsThis reagent will provide the research community with valuable tools for further biochemical and genomic interrogation of the oncogenic activity of EWS::FLI1 in ES.
