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

The ovine major histocompatibility complex (MHC) remains poorly characterized compared with those of other livestock species. Molecular genetic analysis of the bovine MHC has revealed considerable haplotype and allelic diversity that earlier serological analysis had not detected. To develop cellular and molecular tools to support development of vaccines against intracellular pathogens of sheep, we have undertaken a molecular genetic analysis of four distinct ovine MHC haplotypes carried by two heterozygous Blackface rams. We have identified 12 novel class I transcripts and used a class I sequence-specific genotyping system to assign each of these transcripts to individual haplotypes. Using a combination of phylogenetic analysis, haplotype and transcript expression data, we identified at least four distinct polymorphic class I MHC loci, three of which appear together in a number of combinations in individual haplotypes. The haplotypes were further characterized at the highly polymorphic Ovar-DRB1 locus, allowing selection of the progeny of the two founder rams for the establishment of an MHC-defined resource population.
