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

RNA binding proteins (RBPs) are involved in several post-transcriptional stages of gene expression and dictate the quality and quantity of the cellular proteome. When aberrantly expressed, they can lead to disease states as well as cancers. A basic requirement to understand their role in normal tissue development and cancer is the build of comprehensive gene expression maps. In this direction, we generated a list with 383 human RBPs based on the NCBI and EMSEMBL databases. SAGE and MPSS were then used to verify their levels of expression in normal tissues while SAGE and microarray datasets were used to perform comparisons between normal and tumor tissues. As main outcomes of our studies, we identified clusters of co-expressed or co-regulated genes that could act together in the development and maintenance of specific tissues; we also obtained a high confidence list of RBPs aberrantly expressed in several tumor types. This later list contains potential candidates to be explored as diagnostic and prognostic markers as well as putative targets for cancer therapy approaches.
