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

We identified a gene (NGEP) that is expressed only in prostate cancer and normal prostate. The two NGEP transcripts are 0.9 kb and 3.5 kb in size and are generated by a differential splicing event. The short variant (NGEP-S) is derived from four exons and encodes a 20-kDa intracellular protein. The long form (NGEP-L) is derived from 18 exons and encodes a 95-kDa protein that is predicted to contain seven-membrane-spanning regions. In situ hybridization shows that NGEP mRNA is localized in epithelial cells of normal prostate and prostate cancers. Immunocytochemical analysis of cells transfected with NGEP cDNAs containing a Myc epitope tag at the carboxyl terminus shows that the protein encoded by the short transcript is localized in the cytoplasm, whereas the protein encoded by the long transcript is present on the plasma membrane. Because of its selective expression in prostate cancer and its presence on the cell surface, NGEP-L is a promising target for the antibody-based therapies of prostate cancer.
