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 produced a monoclonal antibody (MAb) to Ureaplasma urealyticum Vancouver, the serotype 9 standard strain. By immunoblotting, this MAb showed a single, 85-kDa band with the homologous serotype and a minor, 100-kDa band with serotype 2 but did not react with any other serotype standard strain. Clinical isolates of U. urealyticum were tested with this MAb and with two sets of polyclonal antisera against the 14 serotype standard strains. The use of MAb 9-2H9 correctly identified certain serotype 9 strains but did not react with wild-type strains lacking the serotype 9 determinant.
