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

Combining a computer-based screening strategy and functional genomics, we previously identified MRP9 (ABCC12), a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily. We now show that the gene has two major transcripts of 4.5 and 1.3 kb. In breast cancer, normal breast, and testis, the MRP9 gene transcript is 4.5 kb in size and encodes a 100-kDa protein. The protein is predicted to have 8 instead of 12 membrane-spanning regions. When compared with closely related ABC family members, it lacks transmembrane domains 3, 4, 11, and 12 and the second nucleotide-binding domain. In other tissues including brain, skeletal muscle, and ovary, the transcript size is 1.3 kb. This smaller transcript encodes a nucleotide-binding protein of approximately 25 kDa in size. An in situ hybridization study shows that the 4.5-kb transcript is expressed in the epithelial cells of breast cancer. An antipeptide antibody designed to react with the amino terminus of the protein detects a 100-kDa protein in testis and the membrane fraction of a breast cancer cell line. Because the 4.5-kb RNA is highly expressed in breast cancer and not expressed at detectable levels in essential normal tissues, MRP9 could be a useful target for the immunotherapy of breast cancer. Because of the unusual topology of the two variants of MRP9, we speculate that they may have a different function from other family members.
