Alternative splicing of the ovine CFTR gene.
Article in Mammalian genome : official journal of the International Mammalian Genome Society, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Alternative splicing of the human CFTR gene was studied previously and shown not to generate functional CFTR-like chloride ion channels. However, it is possible that some of the alternatively spliced forms may encode CFTR proteins with different functions. The ovine CFTR gene is very similar to the human gene and has regulatory mechanisms in common. To evaluate whether the alternatively spliced forms of human CFTR are conserved in the sheep, the splice forms of the ovine CFTR gene were examined. A transcript lacking exon 9 was observed in the sheep, but unlike the human exon 9-transcript, it did not result from a polymorphic intron 8 splice acceptor site. Sheep CFTR transcripts lacking exon 17b were seen and have also been described in the human. Transcripts lacking 98 bp of the 5' end of exon 13, the whole of exon 13, and both exons 14b and 15 respectively were seen in sheep but have not been reported in human. Splice site donor and acceptor sequences were isolated, and alternative transcripts were shown to result from a combination of aberrant sites and competition of 5' splice donor sequences.
