Molecular cloning and characterization of Cpn60 in the free-living nematode Plectus acuminatus.
Article in Cell stress & chaperones, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Heat shock proteins (Hsps) have provoked interest not only because of their involvement in human diseases but also for their potential as biomarkers of environmental pollution. Whereas the former interest is covered by numerous reports, the latter is an exciting new field of research. We report the isolation of the full-length cpn60 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and partial genomic deoxyribonucleic acid from the free-living, environmental sentinel nematode Plectus acuminatus, a species used in classical ecotoxicity tests. Although the primary sequence displays high identity scores to other nematodes and human Cpn60 (75% and 70%, respectively), the intron-exon structure differs markedly. Furthermore, although mRNA levels remained constant after exposure to ZnCl2 (0-330 microM) under laboratory conditions, protein levels increased significantly in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, this first account of molecular genetic similarities and differences of Cpn60 in a neglected nematode taxon provides a valuable insight into its potential uses in gene-based ecotoxicological risk assessment exercises.
