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

A sheep antiserum against purified rabbit-heart adenylate deaminase (EC 3.5.4.6) (AMPD) was developed and validated as an immunologic probe to assess the cross-species tissue distribution of the mammalian cardiac AMPD isoform. The antiserum and the antibodies purified therefrom recognized both native and denatured rabbit-heart AMPD in immunoprecipitation and immunoblot experiments, respectively, and antibody binding did not affect native enzyme activity. The immunoprecipitation experiments further demonstrated a high antiserum titer. Immunoblot analysis of either crude rabbit-heart extracts or purified rabbit-heart AMPD revealed a major immunoreactive band with the molecular mass (approximately 81 kDa) of the soluble rabbit-heart AMPD subunit. AMPD in heart extracts from mammalian species other than rabbit (including human) was equally immunoreactive with this antiserum by quantitative immunoblot criteria. Although generally held to be in the same isoform class as heart AMPD, erythrocyte AMPD was not immunoreactive either within or across species. Nor was AMPD from most other tissues [e.g., white (gastrocnemius) muscle, lung, kidney] immunoreactive with the cardiac-directed antibody. Limited immunoreactivity was evidenced by mammalian liver, red (soleus) muscle, and brain extracts across species, indicating the presence of a minor cardiac(-like) AMPD isoform in these tissues. The results of this study characterize the tissue distribution of the cardiac AMPD isoform using a molecular approach with the first polyclonal antibodies prepared against homogeneous cardiac AMPD. This immunologic probe should prove useful at the tissue level for AMPD immunohistochemistry.
