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 have previously reported that the murine T cell line EL-4 has an aggregating phenotype, displaying homotypic aggregation (HTA) when exposed to monoclonal antibodies targeting specific cell surface molecules such as leukocyte function-associated antigen-I (LFA-1). We have used this property of EL-4 cells to isolate additional HTA-inducing MAb by screening a panel of hybridomas that were generated from rats immunized with EL-4 cells. We have isolated a novel anti-Thy-1 MAb (termed FF-10) that is a powerful inducer of HTA in EL-4 cells. In addition to induction of HTA, FF-10 also induces splenocyte proliferation but inhibits anti-CD3-driven T cell proliferation. Thy-1-induced HTA cannot be blocked with MAb targeting intercellular adhesion molecule-I and -2 (ICAM-1, ICAM-2) or LFA-1. Thus, the FF-10 MAb represents a novel and unique tool to investigate the diverse roles of the murine Thy-I molecule in T cell activation, proliferation and apoptosis.
