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 tight junction is an essential element of the intercellular junctional complex; yet its protein composition is not fully understood. At present, only three proteins, ZO-1 (Stevenson, B. R., J. D. Siliciano, M. S. Mooseker, and D. A. Goodenough. 1986. J. Cell Biol. 103:755-766), cingulin (Citi, S., H. Sabanay, R. Jakes, B. Geiger, and J. Kendrick-Jones. 1988. Nature (Lond.). 333:272-275) and ZO-2 (Gumbiner, B., T. Lowenkopf, and D. Apatira. 1991. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 88:3460-3464) are known to be associated with the tight junction. We have generated a monoclonal antibody (7H6) against a bile canaliculus-rich membrane fraction prepared from rat liver. This 7H6 antigen was preferentially localized by immunofluorescence at the junctional complex regions of hepatocytes and other epithelia, and 7H6-affiliated gold particles were shown electron microscopically to localize at the periphery of tight junctions. Immunoblot analysis of a bile canaliculus-rich fraction of rat liver using 7H6, anti-ZO-1 antibody (R26.4C), and anti-cingulin antibody revealed that 7H6 reacted selectively with a 155-kD protein, whereas R26.4C reacted only with a 225-kD protein. Anti-cingulin antibody reacted solely with 140 and 108-kD proteins, indicating that the protein recognized by 7H6 is immunologically different from ZO-1 and cingulin. Immunoprecipitation of detergent extracts obtained from metabolically labeled MDCK cells with R26.4C coprecipitated a 160-kD protein, which corresponds to ZO-2, with ZO-1. However, 7H6 did not react with the 160-kD protein. These results strongly suggest that the 7H6 antibody recognizes a novel tight junction-associated protein different from ZO-1, cingulin and ZO-2.
