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 describe polymorphism in a Drosophila indirect flight muscle-specific tropomyosin isozyme, named TnH-34. Three variants of this protein differ in their mobilities as determined by 1-D and 2-D SDS-PAGE. Meiotic mapping places the polymorphism close to, if not within, the structural gene encoding this tropomyosin isozyme. The most likely site of the mutations is within a single C-terminal exon. Flight-testing of different genotypes reveals that this variation in TnH-34 does not affect flight ability. These results suggest that some sequence variation may be tolerated in this section of the protein and correlate with the variability of this protein in different insect species.
