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

CLIC proteins are components or regulators of novel intracellular anion channels in mammalian cells, and previous studies have suggested that human nuclear membrane-associated CLIC1 and mouse inner mitochondrial membrane CLIC4 are involved in cell division and apoptosis. We have isolated Xenopus homologues of CLIC1 and CLIC4 and shown them to be well conserved during chordate evolution, but poorly conserved in invertebrates. Consistent with fundamental cellular roles, Xenopus CLIC genes are expressed at every stage of embryonic development. Expression is localised to mesodermal and ectodermal tissues, with particularly marked expression of xCLIC4 in the developing nervous system. This is the first description of non-mammalian CLIC expression, and use of Xenopus laevis as a model organism may provide insights into the role of CLIC-associated ion channels in animal development.
