Localization of myosin XVA in endocrine tumors of gut and pancreas.

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.
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 myosin superfamily includes conventional and unconventional myosin proteins. Among unconventional myosins, myosin XVA has recently been characterized, and it has been suggested that it may be involved in cytoplasmic organelle movement, including secretory granules in pituitary cells and pituitary adenomas. In this study, we investigated the expression of myosin XVA protein and mRNA in normal endocrine cells and in a series of 53 endocrine tumors of the gut and pancreas. Myosin XVA was expressed in rare normal endocrine cells of the gut and in almost all pancreatic islet cells. In addition, myosin XVA was detected in several cells of all endocrine tumors investigated, and its expression was not related to malignancy, type, site, or functional status of tumors. These results indicate that myosin XVA protein and mRNA are widely distributed in endocrine cells of the gut and pancreas. Although the role of this protein in endocrine cells is unknown, previous studies suggest that it may have a role in secretory granule movement and/or hormone secretion.
