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

The transferrin receptor family is represented by at least seven different homologous proteins in primates. Transferrin receptor (TfR1) is a type II membrane glycoprotein that, as a cell surface homodimer, binds iron-loaded transferrin as part of the process of iron transfer and uptake. Other family members include transferrin receptor 2 (TfR2), glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCP2 or PSMA), N-acetylated alpha-linked acidic dipeptidase-like protein (NLDL), N-acetylated alpha-linked acidic dipeptidase 2 (NAALAD2), and prostate-specific membrane antigen-like protein (PMSAL/GCPIII). We compared 86 different sequences from 24 different species, from mammals to fungi. Through this comparison, we have identified several highly conserved residues specific to each family not previously associated with clinical mutations. The evolutionary history of the TfR/GCP2 family shows repeated episodes of duplications consistent with recent theories that nondispensable, slowly evolving genes are more likely to form multiple gene families.
