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

Originally identified as a basolateral domain-specific integral plasma membrane protein of the rat hepatocyte, CE9 mRNA and protein were also detected at high levels in the testis of the rat by Northern and Western blotting and immunoprecipitation. CE9 proved to be a domain-specific integral plasma membrane protein of the rat spermatozoon: on testicular spermatozoa, it was concentrated within the posterior tail domain of the plasma membrane, whereas on vas deferens spermatozoa, CE9 was concentrated within the anterior tail domain. This change in the localization of CE9 was observed to take place in a offgressive fashion during the passage of the spermatozoa from the caput epididymidis to the cauda epididymidis and was preceded by the specific endoproteolytic cleavage of CE9 in the proximal portion of the caput epididymidis. Amino-terminal amino acid microsequencing of CE9 immunoaffinity purified from epididymis suggested that the cleavage occurred on the carboxy-terminal side of arginine-74 in the primary sequence of CE9, resulting in the loss of approximately 40% of the amino acids in the extra-cellular domain of this transmembrane glycoprotein.
