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

NTPDase5 is a nucleotidase of the endoplasmic reticulum that plays an important role in proteostasis as a regulator of protein N-glycosylation. This enzyme was first identified in hamster as a proto-oncogene activated upon a single nucleotide deletion that causes a frameshift leading to a truncated protein. Truncated NTPDase5 proteins were detected in human samples, but an oncogene was never identified. Searching for transcript variants in the GenBank database and using TCGA data, we discovered that splice variants could originate truncated human NTPDase5 proteins. We identified three main splicing events in the ENTPD5 gene: alternative acceptors, exon skipping, and alternative terminators. The analysis of impact of splicing events in cancers showed that skipping of exon 11-the event that leads to truncated proteins similar in size to the hamster oncogene-does not affect the hazard ratio of most tumors and was, in fact, a protective factor in the only two cancer studies where it was significant. We also identified four main patterns of impact of ENTPD5 in cancer and a potential variant-specific regulation by miR-215. Our findings shed light on a two-decade uncertainty about the origin of truncated NTPDase5 and contribute to the characterization of its impacts in cancer.
