Evaluation of Placental Alkaline Phosphatase Expression as A Potential Target of Solid Tumors Immunotherapy by Using Gene and Protein Expression Repositories.
Article in Cell journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) is a membrane enzyme mainly expressed in the placenta. PLAP is shown to be expressed in ovarian cancer (OV), however, there is little known about its expression in other cancers. Using gene and protein expression deposited data, we surveyed PLAP expression across malignant and normal human tissues to explore the potential of PLAP as an immunotherapy target. We detected more than two-fold increased PLAP expression in multiple solid tumors including ovarian cancer, testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT), and uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) compared with matched normal tissues. We also showed association of PLAP expression with high mortality pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD). Altogether, our results suggest that PLAP can be a promising target for immunotherapy of multiple cancers, especially OV, TGCT, and UCEC.
