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

In response to food depletion and overcrowding, the soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans can arrest development and form an alternate third larval stage called the dauer. Though nonfeeding, the dauer larva is long lived and stress resistant. Metabolic and transcription rates are lowered but the transcriptome of the dauer is complex. In this study, distribution analysis of transcript profiles generated by Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) in dauer larvae and in mixed developmental stages is presented. An inverse relationship was observed between frequency and abundance/copy number of SAGE tag types (transcripts) in both profiles. In the dauer profile, a relatively greater proportion of highly abundant transcripts was counterbalanced by a smaller fraction of low to moderately abundant transcripts. Comparisons of abundant tag counts between the two profiles revealed relative enrichment in the dauer profile of transcripts with predicted or known involvement in ribosome biogenesis and protein synthesis, membrane transport, and immune responses. Translation-coupled mRNA decay is proposed as part of an immune-like stress response in the dauer larva. An influence of genomic region on transcript level may reflect the coordination of transcription and mRNA turnover.
