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

Phage Q38, a representative member of the c2 species, was purified by CsCl gradient and used to immunize BALB/c mice. Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were raised and then characterized by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Two MAbs of isotype immunoglobulin G2a, designated 2A5 and 6G7, reacted only with phages belonging to the c2 species and not with phages of the 936 and P335 species, with a Lactococcus lactis cell extract, or with phage DNA. Immunoelectron microscopy showed that both MAbs recognized only phage head proteins. They did not react with any denatured phage proteins in Western blot assays. However, when the nitrocellulose membranes were treated with a Triton-based buffer to assist in protein renaturation, MAbs 2A5 and 6G7 recognized the two major capsid proteins with molecular masses of 80 and 170 kDa. Competitive inhibition tests showed that the two MAbs bind to overlapping epitopes. These MAbs may be a useful tool for monitoring c2 bacteriophages during dairy fermentation and in genetic studies.
