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
We have generated a monoclonal antibody (mAb), 9EG7, against mouse endothelial cells that blocks adhesion of lymphocytes to endothelial cells. Sequencing of four tryptic peptides of the purified antigen revealed its identity with the integrin chain beta 1. The only beta 1 integrin that is known to mediate cell-cell adhesion is alpha 4 beta 1 (VLA-4). This is not the integrin that is functionally defined by the mAb 9EG7 on endothelial cells. First, alpha 4 is not present on the analyzed endothelial cells. Second, mAb 9EG7 does not block the cell-adhesion function of alpha 4 beta 1 on the nonactivated mouse lymphoma L1-2. Thus, the mAb 9EG7 can functionally distinguish between different beta 1 integrins and defines a beta 1 integrin other than alpha 4 beta 1 as a newly discovered cell-cell adhesion molecule. This integrin is most likely alpha 6 beta 1, since an antibody against the alpha 6 chain blocks lymphocyte adhesion to the same degree as the mAb 9EG7, the effect of both antibodies is not additive, and the alpha 6 chain is coprecipitated with beta 1 in 9EG7 immunoprecipitations. Surprisingly, activation of alpha 4 beta 1 on L1-2 cells with phorbol ester or Mn2+ allows blocking of alpha 4 beta 1-mediated adhesion of L1-2 cells to endothelial cells with mAb 9EG7. Furthermore, only the activated alpha 4 beta 1 heterodimer, but not the unactivated complex, is detectable with 9EG7 in immunoprecipitations and by flow cytometry. Thus, mAb 9EG7 defines an epitope on integrin chain beta 1, which is accessible on the alpha 4 beta 1 heterodimer only after activation of this integrin.
