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

backgroundCytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding proteins (Cpebs) are a family of proteins that bind to defined groups of mRNAs and regulate their translation. While Cpebs were originally identified as important features of oocyte maturation, recent interest is due to their prospective roles in neural system plasticity.

resultsIn this study we made use of bioinformatic tools and methods including NCBI Blast, UCSC Blat, and Invitrogen Vector NTI to comprehensively analyze all known isoforms of four mouse Cpeb paralogs extracted from the national UniGene, UniProt, and NCBI protein databases. We identified multiple alternative splicing variants for each Cpeb. Regions of commonality and distinctiveness were evident when comparing Cpeb2, 3, and 4. In addition, we performed cross-ortholog comparisons among multiple species. The exon patterns were generally conserved across vertebrates. Mouse and human isoforms were compared in greater detail as they are the most represented in the current databases. The homologous and distinct regions are strictly conserved in mouse Cpeb and human CPEB proteins. Novel variants were proposed based on cross-ortholog comparisons and validated using biological methods. The functions of the alternatively spliced regions were predicted using the Eukaryotic Linear Motif resource.

conclusionsTogether, the large number of transcripts and proteins indicate the presence of a hitherto unappreciated complexity in the regulation and functions of Cpebs. The evolutionary retention of variable regions as described here is most likely an indication of their functional significance.
