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

An unprecedented level of sequence diversity has been maintained in the salmonid major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I UBA gene, with between lineage AA sequence identities as low as 34%. The derivation of deep allelic lineages may have occurred through interlocus exon shuffling or convergence of ancient loci with the UBA locus, but until recently, no such ancient loci were uncovered. Herein, we document the existence of eight additional MHC class I loci in salmon (UCA, UDA, UEA, UFA, UGA, UHA, ULA, and ZE), six of which share exon 2 and 3 lineages with UBA, and three of which have not been described elsewhere. Half of the UBA exon 2 lineages and all UBA exon 3 lineages are shared with other loci. Two loci, UGA and UEA, share only a single exon lineage with UBA, likely generated through exon shuffling. Based on sequence homologies, we hypothesize that most exchanges and duplications occurred before or during tetraploidization (50 to 100 Ma). Novel loci that share no relationship with other salmonid loci are also identified (UHA and ZE). Each locus is evaluated for its potential to function as a class Ia gene based on gene expression, conserved residues and polymorphism. UBA is the only locus that can indisputably be classified as a class Ia gene, although three of the eight loci (ZE, UCA, and ULA) conform in three out of four measures. We hypothesize that these additional loci are in varying states of degradation to class Ib genes.
