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

Two variants of ankyrin have been distinguished in rat brain tissue using antibodies: a broadly distributed isoform (ankyrinB) that represents the major form of ankyrin in brain and another isoform with a restricted distribution (ankyrinR) that shares epitopes with erythrocyte ankyrin. The ankyrinR isoform was localized by immunofluorescence in cryosections of rat spinal cord gray matter and myelinated central and peripheral nerves to: (a) perikarya and initial axonal segments of neuron cells, (b) nodes of Ranvier of myelinated nerve with no detectable labeling in other areas of the myelinated axons, and (c) the axolemma of unmyelinated axons. Immunogold EM on ultrathin cryosections of myelinated nerve showed that ankyrinR was localized on the cytoplasmic face of the axolemma and was restricted to the nodal and, in some cases, paranodal area. The major isoform of ankyrin in brain (ankyrinB) displayed a broad distribution on glial and neuronal cells of the gray matter and a mainly glial distribution in central myelinated axons with no significant labeling on the axolemma. These results show that (a) ankyrin isoforms display a differential distribution on glial and neuronal cells of the nervous tissue; (b) an isoform of ankyrin codistributes with the voltage-dependent sodium channel in both myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibers. Ankyrin interacts in vitro with the voltage-dependent sodium channel (Srinivasan, Y., L. Elmer, J. Davis, V. Bennett, and K. Angelides. 1988. Nature (Lond.). 333:177-180). A specific interaction of an isoform of ankyrin with the sodium channel thus may play an important role in the morphogenesis and/or maintenance of the node of Ranvier.
