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 have previously reported the characterization of an estrogen-regulated rat uterine-ovarian-specific complementary DNA (UO-44). To understand the involvement of this protein in the initiation and progression of human ovarian and uterine cancers, we now report the cloning and characterization of the human ortholog (HuUO-44). HuUO-44 is mapped to chromosome 10q26.13 and contains nine exons. Multiple tissue Northern blot detected two HuUO-44 transcripts of approximately 2 and 3 kb in the pancreas. RT-PCR demonstrated that HuUO-44 undergoes a complex series of alternative splicing events between exons 2 and 6 that yielded four novel splice variants, HuUO-44A, HuUO-44B, HuUO-44C and HuUO-44D. Putative functional motifs identified in HuUO-44 are two CUB domains and a zona-pellucida domain. Transfection studies demonstrated the membrane-associated nature of HuUO-44. By immunohistochemistry, HuUO-44 was located to the normal ovarian and ovarian tumor epithelial cells; in NIH-OVCAR3 ovarian cancer cells, HuUO-44 was detected only at the leading edge of the dividing cells. Most importantly, a marked loss in cell attachment and proliferation was observed in NIH-OVCAR3 cells cultured in the presence of a polyclonal HuUO-44 antiserum. These findings suggest the potential role of HuUO-44 in cell motility, cell-cell interactions and/or interactions with the extracellular matrices.
