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

Beta(2)-microglobulin (beta(2)m), a protein necessary for proper folding, peptide binding, and surface display of class I antigens plays an important role in immune response. The full-length cDNA containing beta(2)m was cloned from the spleen cDNA library of large yellow croaker Pseudosciaena crocea (Pscr-beta ( 2 ) m) by expressed sequence tag (EST) analysis. The Pscr-beta ( 2 ) m is 926 nucleotides (nt) long, including an open reading frame (ORF) of 348 nt encoding a polypeptide of 116 amino acids (aa). The deduced Pscr-beta ( 2 ) m possessed all characteristic domains of beta(2)m in other species, including a 16-aa leader peptide and a typical immunoglobulin (Ig) and major histocompatibility complex protein (MHC) signature YSCRVTH at residues 81-87. Homology modeling showed that the 3D structure of Pscr-beta ( 2 ) m protein is similar to that of human beta(2)m, except for a beta-strand (G) being lost in Pscr-beta ( 2 ) m due to amino acid deletion (positions 94-95). Tissue expression profile analysis revealed that the Pscr-beta ( 2 ) m was constitutively expressed in all tissues examined, such as kidney, spleen, liver, gills, heart, intestine, brain, and muscle, although at different levels. Upon stimulation with poly(I:C) or inactivated trivalent bacterial vaccine, the expression of Pscr-beta ( 2 ) m was significantly up-regulated in intestine, kidney and spleen at 24 h post-induction, and increase of Pscr-beta ( 2 ) m transcripts was also observed in liver post-induction with poly(I:C). Real-time PCR further revealed that the expression of Pscr-beta ( 2 ) m in intestine, kidney and spleen tissues was differentially regulated by poly(I:C) and bacterial vaccine during 72 h of induction. These results suggested that Pscr-beta ( 2 ) m might be involved in both antiviral and antibacterial mechanisms in large yellow croaker.
