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

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) has a central role in the adaptive immune system by presenting foreign peptide to the T-cell receptor. The full length of MHC class Iα cDNA was cloned from half-smooth tongue sole by homology cloning and rapid amplification of cDNA ends polymerase chain reaction (RACE-PCR), genomic organization and expression of MHC Iα were examined to study the function of MHC gene in fish. The domain structure feature and antigen-binding motifs of other teleost and mammals MHC are conserved in the half-smooth tongue sole MHC Iα gene. The deduced amino acid sequence of half-smooth tongue sole MHC Iα (GenBank accession no. FJ372720) had 12.1-61.8% identity with those of human and other fish. Eight exons and seven introns were identified in MHC Iα gene. Real-time quantitative PCR demonstrated that MHC Iα gene was ubiquitously expressed in normal tissues, while that in Vibrio anguillarum infected fish was significantly increased in intestines and decreased in spleen and liver from 24 to 72 h after infection, followed by a recovery to normal level after 96 h.
