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 heterogeneity of alpha-tubulin and the relative proportions of the tubulin isotypes were investigated in brain membranes of rats of 1, 25 and 180 days of age by using four anti-alpha-tubulin antibodies: a) the monoclonal DM1A antibody, specific for alpha-tubulin; b) the monoclonal 6-11B-1 antibody, specific for acetylated tubulin; c) a polyclonal antibody (Glu antibody), specific for detyrosinated tubulin; and d) a polyclonal antibody (Tyr antibody), specific for tyrosinated tubulin. We found that rat brain membranes contain the three tubulin isotypes mentioned above. The proportions of tyrosinated and detyrosinated tubulin relative to total alpha-tubulin were somewhat lower in membrane than in cytosol in animals of 25 and 180 days of age. At day one of development, the proportions in membrane were similar to those found in cytosol. With respect to the acetylated form, it was about 20 times higher in membrane than in cytosol at the three ages studied. The proportion of acetylated tubulin was determined in different subcellular fractions: myelin, synaptic vesicles, mitochondria, microsomes, and plasma membrane. While the amount of total tubulin differed between the different subcellular fractions, the proportion of acetylated tubulin relative to total alpha-tubulin was constant and similar to that found in total membranes. The proportion of acetylated tubulin was also investigated in non-neural tissues (kidney, liver and lung). Although values for cytosol were about 10-fold higher than that found in brain cytosol, no detectable values for membranes could be obtained in these organs.
