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

aimTo isolate and analyze a novel gene over-expressed during liver regeneration.

methodsTotal RNA of regenerating liver was extracted from liver tissue after 0-4-36-36-36 hr short interval successive partial hepatectomy (SISPH). Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was used to synthesize double strand cDNA, after the tissue was digested by proteinase K and Sfi A/B. The double-strand cDNA was ligated to lambdaTriplEx2. lambdaphage packaging reaction was performed and E. coli XL1-Blue was infected for titering and amplifying. One expressed sequence tag was probed by Dig and phage in situ hybridization was carried out to isolate positive clones. Positive recombinant lambdaTriplEx2 was converted to the corresponding pTriplEx2, and bioinformatics was used to analyze full-length cDNA.

resultsWe isolated a novel full-length cDNA during liver regeneration following SISPH.

conclusionWe have succeeded in cloning a novel gene, based on bioinformatics. We postulate that this gene may function in complicated network in liver regeneration. On the one hand, it may exert initiation of liver regeneration via regulating nitric oxide synthesis. On the other hand, it may protect damaged residue lobus following SISPH.
