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

Cytochrome b5 reductase (b5R) is an essential enzyme that exists in soluble and membrane-bound isoforms, each with specific functions. In the rat, the two forms are generated from alternative transcripts differing in the first exons. In contrast, the biogenesis of b5R isoforms in the human is not yet well understood. In the present study we have detected three novel alternative exons, designated 1S, S' and 1B, located between the first alternative exon 1M and the common second exon in the human b5R gene. Accordingly, multiple M-type, S-type and SS'-type and B-type transcripts are generated. All types of human b5R transcript are expressed ubiquitously. An analysis of in vitro translation products demonstrated an alternative use of different AUG initiators resulting in the production of various human b5R protein isoforms. Our results indicate that the organization of the 5' region of the b5R gene is not conserved between rodents and humans. Insertion of Alu elements into the human b5R gene, in particular just upstream of the S/S' region, could be responsible for dynamic events of gene rearrangement during evolution.
