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

Protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) dephosphorylation and protein tyrosine kinase (PTKs) phosphorylation of key signal transduction proteins may be regulated by extracellular signals, making PTPases important in the regulation of cell proliferation. Leucocyte common antigen (LAR), a receptor-like PTPase, consists of E-subunit, containing the cell adhesion molecule-like receptor region, and P-subunit specific for a short segment of the extracellular region, the transmembrane peptide, and two cytoplasmic PTPase domains. We produced a monoclonal antibody against the LAR P-subunit for immunohistochemical screening of LAR expression in normal and tumourous tissues. Gliomas and gastric, colorectal, lung, breast and prostate cancers showed weak and relatively infrequent expression. Intense and diffuse expression, however, was detected in 95% (227 out of 239) of thyroid carcinomas, but only 12% (22 out of 128) of adenomas and no cases of benign thyroid disease were immunopositive. In contrast to broad staining in carcinomas, LAR expression in thyroid adenomas was often found in small focal or locally invasive areas. Western blot analysis similarly detected LAR P-subunit protein in thyroid carcinomas, but not in normal tissues. We believe this to be the first demonstration of LAR overexpression in thyroid carcinoma and may help to elucidate the role of PTPases in the development of malignancy.
