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

The alpha(6) integrin is a 140-kDa (nonreduced) laminin receptor. We have identified a novel 70-kDa (nonreduced) form of the alpha(6) integrin called alpha(6)p for the latin word parvus, meaning small. The variant was immunoprecipitated from human cells using four different alpha(6)-specific monoclonal antibodies but not with alpha(3) or alpha(5) antibodies. The alpha(6)p integrin contained identical amino acid sequences within exons 13--25, corresponding to the extracellular "stalk region" and the cytoplasmic tail of the alpha(6) integrin. The light chains of alpha(6) and alpha(6)p were identical as judged by alpha(6)A-specific antibodies and electrophoretic properties. The alpha(6)p variant paired with either beta(1) or beta(4) subunits and was retained on the cell surface three times longer than alpha(6). Reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed a single polymerase chain reaction product. The alpha(6)p variant was found in human prostate (DU145H, LnCaP, PC3) and colon (SW480) cancer cell lines but not in normal prostate (PrEC), breast cancer (MCF-7), or lung cancer (H69) cell lines or a variant of a prostate carcinoma cell line (PC3-N). Protein levels of alpha(6)p increased 3-fold during calcium-induced terminal differentiation in a normal mouse keratinocyte model system. A novel form of the alpha(6) integrin exists on cell surfaces that contains a dramatically altered extracellular domain.
