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

In order to increase the resources available in chicken, a large-scale expressed sequence tag (EST) project was recently undertaken, resulting in the addition of more than 330,000 sequences to the databases. With the sequencing of further EST collections, there are now more than 460,000 chicken EST sequences publicly available (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/). Previous analyses of the EST data estimate that the chicken genome may contain up to 35,000 genes. However, human data indicate that there may only be around 25,000, although there may be many more transcripts than actual genes. Here we describe how we used a bioinformatics approach with this large EST collection in order to identify immune-related genes, many of which were previously unreported in the chicken. The ESTs include cytokines, chemokines, antigens, cell surface proteins, receptors and MHC-associated genes. The identification of these kinds of genes will allow further study of avian immunology and will pave the way for large-scale immune-related microarray experiments, giving new insight into functional and evolutionary studies.
