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 3' regions of the gene encoding the cap binding protein eIF4E were successfully isolated from Agaricus bisporus and Verticillium fungicola using a degenerate primer within the eIF4E gene and an anchored oligo d(T) primer. The deduced amino acid sequences contained 173 residues for A. bisporus and 171 residues V. fungicola. Analysis of these sequences shows that despite conserved regions of homology, centering around tryptophan residues, A. bisporus and V. fungicola are very diverse at the amino acid and DNA level. Percentage homology between the two fungi is low at the nucleotide, 35%, and amino acid level, 29%. The highest degree of similarity between the A. bisporus sequence and other published sequences is with the Homo sapiens eIF4E sequence (32%). V. fungicola exhibited highest homology with the eIF4E sequence from Caenorhabditis elegans (34%). Southern analysis of genomic DNA indicated a single copy of the gene within the A. bisporus genome.
