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

Ectodomain shedding is a proteolytic mechanism by which a transmembrane protein is converted into a secreted form. Pmel17/gp100 is a melanocyte-specific membrane-bound glycoprotein that has amyloid characteristics and forms fibrillar structures in melanosomes after a complex sequence of post-translational processing and trafficking events, including cleavage by a furin-like proprotein convertase (PC). A secreted form of Pmel17 (termed sPmel17) was also thought to be released due to cleavage by a PC. We used multidisciplinary approaches to demonstrate that sPmel17 is released by ectodomain shedding at the juxtamembrane and/or intramembrane motif and to show that this is independent of cleavage by a PC. We further show that sPmel17 consists of 2 fragments linked by disulfide bonds and that the shedding is inhibited at low temperature but not by metalloproteinase inhibitors. Moreover, treatment with a phorbol ester or a calmodulin inhibitor induces Pmel17 shedding. We also refine the reactivity of HMB50 and NKI/beteb, 2 monoclonal antibodies commonly used as melanoma-specific markers. The fact that those antibodies require physically separated domains of Pmel17 sheds interesting light on its 3-dimensional conformation. We conclude that sPmel17 is released by regulated proteolytic ectodomain shedding.-Hoashi, T., Tamaki, K., Hearing, V. J. The secreted form of a melanocyte membrane-bound glycoprotein (Pmel17/gp100) is released by ectodomain shedding.
