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 antifreeze protein gene (Cn-AFP) from the Antarctic marine diatom, Chaetoceros neogracile was cloned and characterized. The full-length Cn-AFP cDNA contained an open reading frame of 849 bp and the deduced 282 amino acid peptide chain encodes a 29.2 kDa protein, which includes a signal peptide of 30 amino acids at the N terminus. Both the Cn-AFP coding region with and without the signal sequence were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Recombinant Cn-AFPs were shown to display antifreeze activities based on measuring the thermal hysteresis and modified morphology of single ice crystals. Recombinant mature Cn-AFP showed 16-fold higher thermal hysteresis activity than that of pre-mature Cn-AFP at the same concentration. The ice crystal shape changed to an elongated hexagonal shape in the presence of the recombinant mature Cn-AFP, while single ice crystal showed a circular disk shape in absence of Cn-AFP. Northern analysis demonstrated a dramatic accumulation of Cn-AFP transcripts when the cells were subjected to freezing stress. This rapid response to freeze stress, and the antifreeze activity of recombinant Cn-AFPs, indicates that Cn-AFP plays an important role in low temperature adaptation.
