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

A 2041 bp DNA fragment isolated from the Sxr (sex reversed) region of the mouse Y Chromosome (Chr) was sequenced and characterized. The sequence, pY8/b, contains four exons that are highly similar to 525 contiguous bases from the cDNA of human ubiquitin activating enzyme E1. Two of the exons contain stop codons, indicating that pY8/b is not part of a functional gene. Sequences related to pY8/b were amplified from the Y Chr of the inbred mouse strain, C57BL/6J. These sequences may be portions of the recently discovered functional equivalent of pY8/b. Despite a high degree of similarity with the human E1 gene, the functional equivalent of pY8/b is not the mouse E1 gene, because unlike E1, the functional equivalent of pY8/b is expressed in a tissue-specific manner. These data are discussed with respect to theory on the evolution of the mammalian Y Chr, and in particular, to the prediction that functional genes on the Y Chr have a male-specific function.
