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

Prolyl oligopeptidase (POP) is a serine endopeptidase that hydrolyses proline-containing peptides shorter than 30-mer, including many bioactive peptides. The distribution of POP in the brain has been studied but little is known about the distribution of peripheral POP. We used immunohistochemistry to localize POP in mouse whole-body sections and at the cellular level in peripheral tissues. Furthermore, we used a POP activity assay to reveal the associations between POP protein and its enzymatic activity. The highest POP protein densities were found in brain, kidney, testis and thymus, but in the liver the amounts of POP protein were small. There were remarkable differences between the distribution of POP protein and activity. The highest POP activities were found in the liver and testis while kidney had the lowest activity. In peripheral tissues, POP was present in various cell types both in the cytoplasm and nucleus of the cells, in contrast to the brain where no nuclear localization was detected. These findings support the proposed role of POP in cell proliferation in peripheral tissues. The dissociation of the distribution of POP protein and its enzymatic activity points to nonhydrolytic functions of POP and to strict endogenous regulation of POP activity.
