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

Positive correlation between gene expression and synonymous codon usage bias is well documented in the literature. However, in the present study of Vibrio cholerae genome, we have identified a group of genes having unusually high codon usage bias despite being low potential expressivity. Our results suggest that codon usage in lowly expressed genes might also be selected on to preferably use non-optimal codons to maintain a low cellular concentration of the proteins that they encode. This would predict that lowly expressed genes are also biased in codon usage, but in a way that is opposite to the bias of highly expressed genes.
