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 novel death-specific gene, ScDSP, was obtained from a death stage subtraction cDNA library of the diatom Skeletonema costatum. The full length of ScDSP cDNA was 921 bp in length, containing a 699-bp open reading frame encoding 232 amino acids and two stretches of 66 and 156 bp in the 5' and 3' untranslated regions, respectively. Analysis of the peptide structure revealed that ScDSP contained a signal peptide domain, a transmembrane domain, and a pair of EF-hand motifs. When S. costatum grew exponentially at a rate of 1.3 day(-1), the ScDSP mRNA level was at 2 mumol . mole 18S rRNA(-1). In contrast, when the culture entered the death phase with a growth rate decreasing to 0.5 day(-1), ScDSP mRNA increased dramatically to 668 mumol . mole 18S rRNA(-1), and a high degree of DNA fragmentation was simultaneously observed. Under the influence of a light-dark cycle, ScDSP expression in both exponential and stationary phases clearly showed a diel rhythm, but the daily mean mRNA level was significantly higher in the stationary phase. Our results suggest that ScDSP may play a role in the molecular mechanism of self-destructive autolysis in phytoplankton under stress.
