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

Wild-type and an N-terminal 6-histidine-tagged actin have each been expressed by using a yeast strain that contains the actin gene on a plasmid and not on the chromosome. Yeast strains have also been constructed that use two plasmids, one expressing the wild-type protein and the other the 6-histidine-tagged protein. Yeast cells can be grown with either plasmid alone or with both plasmids together and appear to be normal in that the growth rates of all the yeast strains are quite similar, as is the morphology of the yeast cells. The polymerization properties of the 6-histidine-tagged actin appear almost identical to wild-type actin expressed from the chromosome. When the wild-type and 6-histidine-tagged actin are coexpressed, they can be purified by standard techniques and then separated using nickel-nitrilotriacetate chromatography. The method can be used to prepare actin mutants including those that are nonfunctional or might not support yeast growth for other reasons.
