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

Due to its popularity as a traditional food, intensive harvesting of the mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is common and has lead to an increase in disease incidence, resulting in catastrophic losses to crab aquaculture. The hepatopancreas of E. sinensis is not only an important digestive organ but also an indispensable immune organ. We constructed a nonnormalized cDNA library from the hepatopancreas of E. sinensis and acquired 3,297 high-quality expressed sequence tags representing 1,178 unigenes. More than half of these unigenes were novel genes for this species; the remaining had homologs in public databases, which is of great importance for future functional research. We also investigated the association of these genes with immune processes for insight into one of the main functions of the hepatopancreas besides metabolism. Despite the relatively low sampling scalar of our cDNA library, we were able to demonstrate several important properties of the hepatopancreatic transcriptome and identified numerous genes that were closely associated with immune responses. These results might serve as the basis for an in-depth genomics study of E. sinensis, including transcriptome analysis, physical mapping, and whole genome sequencing.
