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

A heterodimeric 760-kDa dermatan sulphate proteoglycan tentatively named PG-760 was characterized as a product of keratinocytes, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts. The two core proteins of 460 kDa and 300 kDa are linked by disulphide bridges, and both carry one or only very few dermatan sulphate chains. Different antisera against PG-760 were used in the present study to investigate the distribution in selected murine tissues by light and electron microscopy. PG-760 immunostaining was observed in cornea (epithelium including basement membrane, stroma, and Descemet's membrane), skin, mucosa of the small intestine, Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS)-tumour (matrix and cells), and the smooth muscle layers of uterus, small intestine, and blood vessels. No staining was observed in capillaries, striated muscles, and liver parenchyma including the central vein. The expression of PG-760 in EHS-tumour was also demonstrated after extraction with 4 M guanidine and partial purification by diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-chromatography. We conclude that this novel proteoglycan exhibits a unique tissue distribution being a constituent of some but not all basement membranes, of some other extracellular matrices, and additionally, of all investigated smooth muscle layers.
