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

A 65 kDa-constituent (MP65) of a whole-cell mannoprotein (MP) fraction of Candida albicans was purified by immunoaffinity chromatography with monoclonal antibodies directed against periodate-insensitive, protease-sensitive MP epitopes, putatively polypeptide in nature. These antibodies were obtained by immunization of mice with concanavalin A bead-coupled, low-glycosylated MP from hyphal cells of C. albicans grown in the presence of a subinhibitory dose of tunicamycin. The immunoaffinity-purified MP65 molecule had a pI of 4.1 and a protein/polysaccharide ratio of 1.8:1. It was resistant to hydrolysis by endoglycosidase H, endoglycosidase F, or N-glycoffanases but still reactive with concanavalin A. The polysaccharide moiety of MP65 was composed exclusively of mannose and glucose at a ratio of 12.7 to 1. The protein moiety showed numerous potential O-glycosidic linkage sites as suggested by the high proportion of serine and threonine (together accounting for more than 20% of the total amino acid composition) and susceptibility to diluted alkali. This treatment and digestion with alpha-mannosidase caused a reduction in the MP65 molecular mass to around 54 kDa. The N-terminal sequence of MP65 protein moiety was rich in alanine and valine (7 of 13 amino acids) and did not show any significant homology with deposited sequences in data banks. Purified MP65, at doses of a few nanograms, induced extensive T-cell proliferation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. This proliferation was specifically inhibited, in a dose-response fashion, by the antigen-binding fragment of the monoclonal antibody used for immunoaffinity purification. Overall, these results highlight biochemical and molecular details of MP65, a main target of human T-cell response to C.albicans.
