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 5.6-kilobase cDNA clone has been isolated which includes the entire coding region for the myosin light chain kinase from rabbit uterine tissue. This cDNA, expressed in COS cells, encodes a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase with catalytic properties similar to other purified smooth muscle myosin light chain kinases. A module (TLKPVGNIKPAE), repeated sequentially 15 times, has been identified near the N terminus of this smooth muscle kinase. It is not present in chicken gizzard or rabbit skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinases. This repeat module and a subrepeat (K P A/V) are similar in amino acid content to repeated motifs present in other proteins, some of which have been shown to associate with chromatin structures. Immunoblot analysis after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, used to compare myosin light chain kinase present in rabbit, bovine, and chicken smooth and nonmuscle tissues, showed that within each species both tissue types have myosin light chain kinases with indistinguishable molecular masses. These data suggest that myosin light chain kinases present in smooth and nonmuscle tissues are the same protein.
