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 isolated and characterized the cDNA that encodes IgD of fugu (Takifugu rubripes). Though the splicing of micro1 with the delta1 domain was similar to those reported for teleost IgDs, highly unusual and unprecedented domain duplications were found in the constant region of the fugu IgD. The structure of the fugu IgD is like VDJ-micro1-(delta1-delta2-delta3-delta4-delta5-delta6)(2)-delta7-deltam1-deltam2. Genomic sequence analysis of the fugu IgD gene supported the results of cDNA sequencing that the first six delta domains in the constant region are duplicated. Such a novel duplication pattern has not been reported in any other vertebrates. However, IgD secretory domains could not be identified in this study. The deduced amino acid sequence of the fugu IgD constant region showed high identity (35-55%) to the sequences of previously reported teleost IgDs. Gene expression analyses based on RT-PCR demonstrated that the IgD gene is preferentially expressed in presumptive lymphoid tissues; moreover, in situ hybridization showed that IgD-positive cells are distributed throughout the spleen and head kidney. The expression pattern is similar to that of IgM, corroborating the hypothesis that IgD plays an important role in the humoral immune system of this species.
