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

We describe an immunoassay based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). The antigen was human serum albumin (HSA), which was labeled with a ruthenium-ligand complex, [Ru(bpy)2(phen-ITC)]2+. The antibody (IgG) to HSA was labeled with a nonfluorescent absorber, Reactive Blue 4. Association of the Ru-labeled HSA with the antibody was detected by three spectral parameters, a decreased quantum yield of Ru-HSA, a decrease in its fluorescence lifetime, and an increase in its fluorescence anisotropy. The steady-state anisotropy of Ru-HSA increased approximately eightfold upon binding to the antibody. These spectral effects were observed both in the direct association of the Ru-HSA with Reactive Blue 4-labeled antibody, and in a competitive assay format wherein unlabeled HSA competed with Ru-HSA for the binding sites on the antibody. Some nonspecific interactions of HSA may have occurred with Reactive Blue 4-labeled AHA, a difficulty which can be avoided with a different acceptor. The use of FRET provides a reliable means to alter the spectral properties upon antigen-antibody binding. The advantages of a ruthenium-ligand fluorophore include its long-wavelength absorption and emission, long fluorescence lifetime, and high photo-stability. Long wavelengths minimize problems of autofluorescence from biological samples, and long life-times allow off-gating of the prompt autofluorescence.
