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

Alkaline phosphatases are ubiquitous in organisms from bacteria to human. Two alkaline phosphatase genes, Alp-m and Alp-s, were independently cloned from the silkworm Bombyx mori. They were mapped to a small DNA region and shown to be organized in tandem. Exon-intron structures of the two genes were highly conserved, with the exception of the second intron in Alp-m, which has no counterpart in Alp-s. The similarity between the nucleotide sequences of the exons of the two genes was strikingly high (60-79%), suggesting that Alp-m and Alp-s originated from a duplication of their common ancestor gene. The intergenic sequence between the two Alp genes shows length polymorphism in different B. mori strains, which can be explained by presence/absence of two putative insertion sequences. This structural variation suggests a possible scenario for the divergence of the two Alp genes after the duplication event.
