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 gradually discovered sarcomeric proteins play important roles for structural integrity and signal transduction of sarcomere during myofibril genesis. TCAP (also described as telethonin, T-cap), one of the sarcomeric protein genes, is regulated developmentally. In this study, we reported the molecular characteristics of porcine TCAP gene. A 979 bp TCAP cDNA nucleotide sequence was obtained in pig and the deduced amino acid sequence had 92 and 91% identity to those of human and mouse homologous genes, respectively. One SNP was discovered and the allele frequency analysis showed that G allele frequency was low among 221 unrelated pigs from seven breeds. The tissue distribution patterns revealed that TCAP mRNA was expressed abundantly in skeletal and heart muscle tissue. Real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) results displayed TCAP mRNA was up-regulated in both Tongcheng and Landrace pigs during prenatal skeletal muscle development stages. This study suggested that TCAP gene might be a prospective candidate gene affecting muscle mass and meat quality traits in the pig, and also implicated the possible significance of TCAP on sarcomere assembly.
