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

Elongation factors (EF) are abundant cell proteins that play important roles in the metabolism of all multicellular organisms. Here we describe a functional analysis of elongation factor 1-alpha (EF1A) and elongation factor 2 (EF2), from the Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. Full-length cDNAs of genes corresponding to EF1A and EF2 were obtained that were 1547 and 2729 bp long, with open reading frames encoding 461 and 846 amino acids, respectively. The deduced amino acid sequences of L. vannamei EF1A and EF2 showed high similarity with those from mice, humans, chickens and other shrimps. RT-PCR analysis indicated that mRNA transcripts of EF1A and EF2 are strongly (but differentially) expressed in haemocytes and gill tissue, and at varying levels in other examined tissues, of the shrimps. Levels of both EF1A and EF2 transcripts increased when shrimps were challenged by pH and cadmium stress, but reached maximal levels after different exposure periods. These results indicate that EF1A and EF2 may play distinct, essential roles in the repair of cellular damage induced by pH and cadmium stress.
