Molecular cloning and characterization of twist gene in Bombyx mori.
Article in Molecular and cellular biochemistry, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 twist genes are an evolutionarily conserved group of regulatory basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors. In present study, the twist gene was firstly cloned from Bombyx mori and was designated as BmTwist. Sequence analysis showed that BmTwist cDNA contains a 798 bp open reading frame, encoding a peptide of 266 amino acid residues. Sequence alignment showed that BmTwist protein shared extensive homology with other invertebrate Twist proteins in bHLH motif. RT-PCR and western blot analyses revealed that BmTwist expressed in all developmental stages of B. mori larvae various larval tissues. Here the authors also presented the results of prokaryotic expression, purification, and polyclonal antibody production of the BmTwist protein. Immunofluorescence of BmTwist in BmN cells using the antibodies showed that BmTwist protein was located in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Furthermore, using B. mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) baculovirus expression system, the authors expressed a recombinant twist protein in BmN cell line. The obtained results, especially the preparation of polyclonal antibodies against BmTwist, will greatly facilitate further studies to explore biological functions of BmTwist protein such as identifying its potential binding partners.
