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

PTP-BL is a highly modular protein tyrosine phosphatase of unknown function. It consists of an N-terminal FERM domain, five PDZ domains, and a C-terminally located tyrosine phosphatase domain. Here we show that PTP-BL is involved in the regulation of cytokinesis. We demonstrate localization of endogenous PTP-BL at the centrosomes during inter- and metaphase and at the spindle midzone during anaphase. Finally PTP-BL is concentrated at the midbody in cytokinesis. We show that PTP-BL is targeted to the midbody and centrosome by a specific splicing variant of the N-terminus characterized by an insertion of 182 amino acids. Moreover, we demonstrate that the FERM domain of PTP-BL is associated with the contractile ring and can be cosedimented with filamentous actin, whereas the N-terminus can be cosedimented with microtubules. We demonstrate that elevating the expression level of wild-type PTP-BL or expression of PTP-BL with an inactive tyrosine phosphatase domain leads to defects in cytokinesis and to the generation of multinucleate cells. We suggest that PTP-BL plays a role in the regulation of cytokinesis.
