Molecular mimicry: histone H3 and mycobacterial protein epitopes.

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
A 15-kDa protein detected initially in amyloidotic ileum from a transgenic mouse and subsequently in control (nontransgenic) ileum by various polyclonal rabbit antiserums applied to electroblots of extracts derived from these tissues was identified by partial sequence analysis as histone H3. Antiserums were made against immunogens unrelated to the histone, but they recognized calf thymus histone H3 (14.7 kDa) on Western blots. The bacterial component of the Freund's medium used as an adjuvant for the immunogens was either Mycobacterium butyricum or Mycobacterium smegmatis. Absorption tests with histone H3 and sonicated M. butyricum substantiated the presence of anti-histone H3 activity in the antiserums. These findings indicate that the two mycobacterium species make a protein with epitopes perceived as nonself by recipient rabbits but sufficiently similar to epitopes of mammalian histone H3 that the rabbits produced antibodies cross-reactive with the histone.
