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 effect of antibodies to glycophorin A on the rotational diffusion of band 3 in human erythrocyte membranes was investigated by transient dichrosim. Three antibodies that recognize different epitopes on the exofacial domain of glycophorin A all strongly reduce the rotational mobility of band 3. The effect is at most only weakly dependent on the distance of the epitope from the membrane surface. The degree of immobilization obtained with two of the antibodies, BRIC14 and R18, is very similar to that produced by antibodies to band 3 itself. Similar results were obtained with membranes stripped of skeletal proteins. Fab fragments and an antibody to glycophorin C had no effect on band 3 rotational mobility. These results rule out a mechanism whereby band 3 rotational immobilization results from enhanced interactions with the membrane skeleton that are mediated by a conformational change in glycophorin A. Rather, they strongly indicate that the antibodies to glycophorin A cross-link existing band 3-glycophorin A complexes that have lifetimes that are long compared with the millisecond time scale of the transient dichroism measurements.
