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 phosphatase 3 (PPP3, formerly PP2B, Calcineurin), a serine/threonine protein phosphatase, is a heterodimer composed of one catalytic subunit (PPP3C, Calcineurin A) and one regulatory subunit (PPP3R, Calcineurin B). PPP3R, an EF-hand Ca2+ binding protein, contains four high-affinity EF-hand calcium-binding sites, indicating that PPP3 plays critical roles in many calcium-mediated signal transduction pathways. PPP3R has two isoforms, PPP3R1 (also known as PP2Bbeta1) and PPP3R2 (also known as PP2BB2). While PPP3R1 is ubiquitously expressed in different tissues, PPP3R2 is exclusively expressed in testis. PPP3R2 has only been identified in rat and mouse. Here we report a human homologue of PPP3R2, which is designated PPP3RL (PPP3R like protein). PPP3RL gene was predicated to encode 171 amino acid residues with four EF-hand calcium-binding domains and this putative protein shares 82.9% and 80.5% identity with PPP3R2 of rat and mouse, respectively. Our results show that PPP3RL gene localizes to human chromosome 9q22 and transcripts of PPP3RL gene are specifically expressed in the testis, moreover, this tissue-specific expression is due to demethylation of its promoter region in testis.
