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

To ascertain the membrane topography of the multi-transmembrane spanning presenilin proteins PS-1 and PS-2, anti-peptide antibodies were raised to several specific amino acid sequences in the two proteins, and, after their specificity was ascertained, the anti-peptide antibodies were used in immunofluorescent labeling of live PS-transfected, cultured DAMI cells, which are impermeable to the antibodies, as well as of their fixed and permeabilized counterparts. In such experiments, antibodies that specifically stain the intact live cells must label epitopes of the PS proteins that are on the exterior face of the plasma membrane whereas those antibodies that do not stain the live cells but do stain the fixed and permeabilized cells must label epitopes that face the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. The results obtained were entirely in accord with the predictions of the seven-transmembrane spanning topography (like that of rhodopsin and the beta-adrenergic receptor) and were totally inconsistent with the expectations for either the six- or eight-transmembrane topographies that have been proposed.
