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

This report describes the development of small DNA microarrays of fully defined genes suitable for projects requiring detailed analysis of gene expression in sheep and/or cattle. Two arrays have been developed; the first is a small reference microarray (RIGRA) that has been used to validate experimental design and methodology; the second, a larger array (RIGUA) containing probes for 516 ruminant immuno-inflammatory genes, each represented by non-overlapping 75mer oligonucleotides. Experiments used to validate this microarray were: (1) a comparison of gene expression profiles from sheep broncho-alveolar macrophages before and after in vitro activation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), using the RIGRA; (2) the differential gene expression between five in vitro unstimulated sheep keratinocyte cultures; (3) LPS/interferon gamma stimulated and unstimulated blood monocytes purified from Holstein-Friesians (Bos taurus) and Sahiwals (Bos indicus) cattle using the RIGUA. Real-time, quantitative RT-PCR was used to validate the gene expression profiles obtained with the RIGUA microarrays. The potential for using such an immunological tool in understanding the relative gene expression corresponding to immune-inflammatory responses of sheep and cattle is discussed.
