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

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), an ectoenzyme, plays important roles in biology. But there is no activity probes for imaging ALPs in live cell environment due to the diffusion and cytotoxicity of current probes. Here we report the profiling of the activities of ALPs on live cells by enzyme-instructed self-assembly (EISA) of a D-peptidic derivative that forms fluorescent, non-diffusive nanofibrils. Our study reveals the significantly higher activities of ALP on cancer cells than on stromal cells in their co-culture and shows an inherent and dynamic difference in ALP activities between drug sensitive and resistant cancer cells or between cancer cells with and without hormonal stimulation. Being complementary to genomic profiling of cells, EISA, as a reaction-diffusion controlled process, achieves high spatiotemporal resolution for profiling activities of ALPs of live cells at single cell level. The activity probes of ALP contribute to understanding the reversible phosphorylation/dephosphorylation in the extracellular domains that is an emerging frontier in biomedicine.
