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

Phostensin binds to the pointed ends of actin filaments and modulates actin dynamics. The genomic location of phostensin is between the HLA-C and HLA-E gene clusters on human chromosome 6, and the mRNA of this protein is predominantly distributed in the spleen, thymus, and peripheral leukocytes. However, the distribution of phostensin in leukocyte cell populations and the subcellular localization have not yet been determined. In this study, an anti-phostensin monoclonal antibody (PT2) that recognizes residues 89-124 of phostensin was prepared and used to examine the subcellular localization and distribution of phostensin in white blood cell populations and in lymphatic tissues. It was found that phostensin is mainly concentrated at the cell periphery and co-localizes with actin filaments. In addition, phostensin was abundant in helper T-lymphocytes, cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, mature monocytes, macrophages, B-lymphocytes, natural killer cells, and granulocytes as well as in the lymphatic tissues, such as the thymus, lymph nodes, and spleen. Phostensin is expressed in the mature lymphocytes of the thymic medulla but not in the immature lymphocytes of the thymic cortex. Taken together, phostensin is a ubiquitous protein in leukocytes, and it may play an important role in modulating the cellular functions of leukocytes.
