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 Agamaki clam (Sinonovacula constricta) is an economically important shellfish in Asia. However, genomic research on this species is still in its infancy, and genomic resources are largely unavailable. The objective of this study was to generate expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from a normalized liver complementary DNA library and to identify genes that function in immune defense. A total of 5,296 ESTs were sequenced, from which 540 contigs and 3,473 singletons were identified. BLAST homology analysis indicated that only 20.7% of these ESTs were homologues of known genes while the remaining 79.3% appeared to be novel sequences. Based on sequence similarities, 43 putative immune genes were identified that encode proteases and protease inhibitors, adhesive proteins, stress proteins, lysosomal enzymes, and signal transduction regulators. Our study thus provides both a large collection of novel transcripts and a detailed annotation of immune genes for an important bivalve species.
