Purification and N-glycosylation analysis of melanoma antigen dopachrome tautomerase.
Article in The protein journal, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Dopachrome tautomerase (DCT) plays a critical role in lowering the oxidative stress resulting from melanogenesis. Levels of DCT are elevated in melanoma cell lines that are especially resistant to chemotherapy and radiation. DCT is processed as a melanoma antigen and is a potential target for immunotherapy. In order to establish a more complete understanding of the role that DCT may play in the etiology and treatment of melanoma skin cancer, isolation of highly pure and properly processed protein is necessary. Purification of native DCT has been problematic due to a hydrophobic transmembrane anchor and interactions with melanin. In this study, DCT was expressed, without its carboxy-terminal transmembrane region using an Sf9 insect cell protein expression system and its recombinant protein was purified by various chromatographic techniques. Analysis of DCT tryptic peptides by MALDI-TOF/TOF determined N-glycosylation as a primary post-translational modification. Our success in the expression of soluble mammalian DCT and the characterization of N-glycosylation sites is a useful reference toward the comprehensive understanding of the structure/function relationship of mammalian DCT.
