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

Existing data suggest that the human keratin 10 intermediate filament protein is polymorphic in amino acid sequence and in size. To precisely define the nature of the polymorphism, we have used PCR amplification and sequence analyses on DNA from several individuals including five with documented size variations of the keratin 10 protein. We found no variation in the N-terminal or rod domain sequences. However, we observed many variations in the V2 subdomain near the C terminus in glycine-rich sequences with a variation of as much as 114 base pairs (38 amino acids), but all individuals had either one or two variants. Our results show that (i) the keratin 10 system is far more polymorphic than previously realized, (ii) the polymorphism is restricted to insertions and deletions of the glycine-rich quasipeptide repeats that form the glycine-loop motif in the C-terminal domain, (iii) the polymorphism can be accounted for by simple allelic variations that segregate by normal Mendelian mechanisms, and (iv) the differently sized PCR products most likely represent different alleles of a single-copy gene per haploid genome.
