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

The p8 protein is a transcription factor with a basic helix-loop-helix motif and a nuclear localization signal. In the present study, a common sea urchin (Paracentrotus lividus) homolog of p8 cDNA was cloned, sequenced and characterized. The full-length p8 cDNA consists of 896 bp and encodes 71 amino acids with a molecular mass of 8.238 kD. Homology alignments found that several phosphorylation sites and the most negative (Asp and Glu)/positive (Arg) propensities charged residues were well conserved between P. lividus and other species. Analysis by RT-PCR showed that there was no obvious difference in the patterns of expression during embryogenesis from unfertilization egg up to the pluteus stage, but p8 mRNA expression levels varied among tested adult tissues suggesting that p8 has a key function in embryogenesis but non-vital function under physiological conditions. Evolution relationships between P. lividus p8 and other species p8 homologs revealed in the phylogenetic tree were in agreement with the concept of traditional taxonomy.
