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

The aims of the present study were to characterise an assay for cAMP-binding proteins in ovarian cancer and then to measure levels in a series of tumours with a view to developing a potential prognostic indicator for this disease. Levels and types of binding proteins have been measured in cytosols from 50 ovarian tumours. Binding proteins were detected in all tumours but, as calculated from Scatchard analysis, binding levels ranged from 267 to 12,037 fmol per mg of cytosol protein (mean value of 4248 fmol mg-1). Dissociation constants of binding varied between 0.4 x 10(-8) and 5.9 x 10(-8) (mean value 2.3 x 10(-8)). Types of binding protein were detected by incubation with the photoaffinity ligand 8-N3-[32P]cAMP, followed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. Labelled proteins with molecular weights of 52, 48, 43, 39 and 37 kDa were identified in the cytosols. The proportion and pattern of bands detected varied between different cytosols. The significance of these findings awaits clinical follow-up of the patients.
