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 reactions of a panel of 34 mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for the dengue-2 virus nonstructural-1 glycoprotein (NS1), were analysed using 174 overlapping synthetic nonameric peptides covering the entire sequence. Using this methodology, four epitopes were identified. One pair of MAbs, which defined a dengue-2/4 virus subcomplex epitope (24C: amino acids 299-309) using native NS1 proteins, showed the same reaction pattern with synthetic peptides containing the corresponding NS1 sequences of each virus serotype. One amino acid substitution, present in the sequences from the dengue-1/3 virus subcomplex abrogated almost all reaction by these MAbs. A dengue complex epitope (LX1: amino acids 111-121) was also located and peptides containing the sequences of each serotype were shown to contain only antigenically silent amino-acid substitutions. In contrast, MAbs which defined a dengue type-specific epitope (LD2: amino acids 25-33) and another dengue subcomplex epitope (24A: amino acids 61-69) failed to show the same reaction profiles using peptides of each serotype, suggesting that these determinants were partially dependent upon conformation. The LX1 epitope is a good candidate for further trials aimed at generating cross-protective immune responses to these viruses without the risk of antibody-dependent enhancement.
