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

In order to investigate the genetic origin of nephritogenic antibodies in MRL/Mp-lpr/lpr (MRL/lpr) lupus mice, we isolated the germ-line heavy chain variable region (VH) gene corresponding to the nephritogenic antibody, B1, derived from an unmanipulated MRL/lpr mouse. Injection of this antibody into C.B-17/Icr-scid/scid mice resulted in the generation of wire loop-like glomerular lesions resembling those of lupus nephritis. Nucleotide sequences of this germ-line VH gene showed no replacement mutation in the VH region of the B1 antibody. Furthermore, this gene was identical to that found in the C3H/HeJ-lpr/lpr strain of mice. Our results suggest that germ-line VH genes can encode nephritogenic antibodies without somatic mutation, even in a mouse strain not prone to lupus.
