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

We have investigated keratin expression in fetal, newborn and adult rat intestines by immunofluorescence staining, immunoblotting of two-dimensional gels and Northern blot analysis of total cellular RNAs. Keratin-type intermediate filaments, composed predominantly of keratin no. 19, were observed already in the undifferentiated stratified epithelium present at 15-16 days of gestation. The marked maturation and differentiation of the epithelium taking place at 18-19 days of gestation was characterized by the appearance of the differentiation-specific keratin no. 21 and by a significant increase in the relative amount of keratin no. 8. The keratin pattern typical of adult villus cells became established at the time of birth, and was marked by a considerable increase in the complexity of the keratin-related polypeptides detected on two-dimensional gels, indicative of extensive post-translational modification of all keratins. Starting at 20 days of gestation there was a major increase in the relative abundance of mRNAs coding for keratin nos. 8, 19 and 21; in contrast, the relative amount of keratin no. 18 mRNA reached a peak shortly after birth and declined to very low levels in adult intestine. These results demonstrated marked changes in keratin expression and post-translational processing taking place at key stages of intestinal development. The appearance of keratin no. 21 in coincidence with the formation of an adult-type brush border and terminal web would be consistent with it having an important role in the organization of the intermediate filament network in the apical cytoplasm of the differentiated intestinal cells.
