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 cDNA library was constructed from late log-phase cultures of the ichthyotoxin-producing haptophyte, Prymnesium parvum. Approximately 6,300 single-pass 5' nucleotide sequences (out of nearly 8,000 randomly isolated clones) achieved length and quality criteria for incorporation into an expressed sequence tag (EST) database. Collectively, 3,415 unique genes (tentative unigenes [TUGs]) were assembled. Database searches revealed approximately 1,100 TUG (34%) that encode proteins of known or putative function (expect values E < or = 1.0 x 10(-10)), representing most functional classes of proteins and many metabolic pathways. In addition to proteins involved in photosynthesis and protein synthesis/degradation, one of the most frequently encountered transcripts putatively encodes an ABC-type phosphate transport system component. Active (and efficient?) phosphate transport may correlate with rapid growth, perhaps explaining how this alga out-competes other species when it blooms and becomes toxic under low-phosphate conditions. The majority of TUGs, including 12 of the 50 most commonly encountered transcripts, encode potentially novel proteins, some of which are probably involved in synthesis and secretion of the unique prymnesin toxins. This work suggests that future studies on the expression of many of these genes during rapid growth should provide insight into the genetic basis of bloom formation and toxicity.
