Immunoreactivity of the JK-132 monoclonal antibody directed against basement membrane collagen in normal and diabetic glomeruli.
Article in Virchows Archiv : an international journal of pathology, 1994. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The possible involvement of basement membrane-associated collagen (recognized by the monoclonal antibody JK-132) in the evolution of diabetic nephropathy was studied in kidney specimens from seven patients with noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and its distribution was compared with those of antibodies against alpha 1 to alpha 4 chains of type IV collagen. JK-132, a monoclonal antibody against basement membrane-associated collagen, reacted immunohistochemically exclusively with the mesangial matrix of the glomerular capillary. In contrast, antibodies to the alpha 1 and alpha 2 chains (IV) reacted strongly with mesangial matrix, and less strongly with the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). Antibodies to the alpha 3 and alpha 4 chains (IV) reacted mainly with GBM. In diabetes, JK-132 reacted most extensively with the expanded mesangial matrix, its staining intensity increasing with progression of the diabetic glomerulosclerosis. Antibodies to the alpha 1 and alpha 2 chains (IV) reacted prominently with the expanded mesangial matrix but less strongly with the GBM. Antibodies to the alpha 3 and alpha 4 chains reacted intensely with the thickened GBM. These results suggest that basement membrane-associated collagen differs from alpha 1 to alpha 4 chains of type IV collagen and that basement membrane-associated collagen is a good marker of mesangial expansion in diabetic nephropathy.
