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

Using autoimmune serum from a patient with anti-centromere antibodies, we have identified and partially characterized a novel protein with a mol. wt of approximately 27 kD (hereafter referred to as p27). A cDNA expression library was screened with this serum, and two overlapping inserts were isolated among three positive clones other than clones corresponding to centromere protein (CENP)-B and CENP-C. Analysis of the sequence showed an open reading frame of approximately 0.6 kb encoding 199 amino acids with a predicted mol. wt of 21.5 kD. Immunoblotting analysis with bacterial recombinant p27 showed that approximately 2% of anti-centromere antibody-positive patients had autoantibodies to p27, whereas only one of 215 autoimmune patients without anti-centromere antibodies reacted with the recombinant. All five cases with anti-p27 antibodies, who were diagnosed as having scleroderma and/or Sjögren's syndrome, showed internal organ involvement. Although affinity-purified anti-p27 human or mouse polyclonal antibodies failed to stain any cellular structures in an immunofluorescence study, the potential association of anti-p27 with anti-centromere antibodies suggests that this novel autoantigen might play a role in mitosis.
