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

In order to understand the molecular mechanism of growth regulation in phytoplankton and to develop novel growth-status indicators, a subtraction cDNA library was constructed by using the mRNA extracted from Skeletonema costatum in the rapid-growth stage (RG stage), and three RG-stage-related cDNA fragments, RG#14, RG#25, and RG#42, were obtained. According to the results of sequence analysis, RG#42 belonged to the MCM2-7 protein family, and the other two fragments, RG#14 and RG#25, were novel molecules. Under continuous illumination, these RG-stage-related mRNA expression levels increased from 100- (RG#14 and RG#42) to 1,000-fold (RG#25) with increasing growth rate. Furthermore, under a diel rhythm of light (light-dark = 12:12 h), the daily mean mRNA abundances of RG#14 and RG#25 in the exponential phase also differed from those in the late-stationary phase. However, such differences between these growth phases were not observed in the mRNA levels of RG#42 and PCNA. This study not only provided a new way to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of cell growth but also offered a possibility of employing these gene fragments as indicators to monitor the growth status of phytoplankton in the marine environment.
