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 murine limb deformity (ld) locus resides on mouse chromosome 2 and gives rise to a recessively inherited, characteristic limb deformity/renal aplasia phenotype. In this locus in the mouse, a gene, termed the "formin" gene, has been identified which encodes an array of differentially processed transcripts in both adult and embryonic tissues. A set of these transcripts are disrupted in independent mutant mouse ld alleles. We wish to report the isolation of a human genomic clone which is homologous to the mouse formin gene by virtue of sequence comparison and expression of conserved exons. Among human fetal tissues analyzed, the kidney appears to be a major site of expression. This human gene, LD, maps to chromosome 15q11----qter in mouse human somatic cell hybrids and, specifically, to 15q13----q14 by chromosomal in situ hybridization. This localization establishes both LD and beta 2-microglobulin as syntenic genes on mouse chromosome 2 and human chromosome 15 and implies the interspecies conservation of the region between them. In addition, we identify in the human locus two frequently occurring DNA polymorphisms which can be used to test the linkage of LD to known human dysmorphoses.
