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 QM gene was originally identified as a putative tumor suppressor gene from a Wilms' tumor cell line by subtractive hybridization assay. Later studies showed that the QM protein is multifunctional, involved in cell growth and differentiation, energy metabolism, respiration, and cytoskeletal function. In this report a full-length complementary DNA encoding a QM counterpart in pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata) was isolated. Phylogenetic analysis shows that oyster QM is more closely related to its insect homologues than to the mammalian homologues. Analysis of the tissue expression pattern of the oyster QM gene showed that oyster QM messenger RNA is expressed in all tissues tested, with highest levels in the digestive gland and mantle. Furthermore, we expressed the QM protein in Escherichia coli; Western blotting showed that the antibody of human QM is immunoreactive to the expressed oyster QM protein. Incubation of the oyster QM with Zn2+ resulted in the reduction of intrinsic emission fluorescence and a red-shift in the lambda(max) emission, indicating the occurrence of Zn(2+)-induced conformational changes. This evidence presents a possible mechanism for the critical function of zinc ion in the interaction of QM with Jun.
