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

We have purified an isoform of protein disulfide isomerase (EC 5.3.4.1) from rat liver, and raised a specific antibody against the purified protein in rabbit. Immunohistochemical studies using this antibody on rat testis sections, at both light and electron microscopic levels, showed a specific localization of the isoform of protein disulfide isomerase in the developing acrosome of the spermatids. The protein was transferred to the acrosomic vesicle from the Golgi apparatus at late Golgi phase, and remained present in the acrosome of spermatids during cap phase, acrosome phase, and maturation phase. In addition to the acrosome, the protein appeared in the nucleus of spermatids during maturation phase, and was localized in the nucleus of epididymal spermatozoa. By immunoblot analysis, almost all of the isoform of protein disulfide isomerase in the testis was found to be extractable by an isotonic buffer. On the contrary, detergent extraction was required for complete solubilization of the protein in the epididymis. These results suggest that the isoform of protein disulfide isomerase is a new intra-acrosomal soluble protein, and that the protein begins to enter the nucleus of mature spermatids in the testis and tightly binds to the nuclear components in epididymal spermatozoa.
