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

LM23 is a gene specifically expressed in the testis of Rattus norvegicus, as previously reported by our laboratory. The aim of the study is to further investigate the biological function of LM23. Several bioinformatic tools were utilized, including PROSITE and BLAST. To determine the subcellullar localization of LM23, a polyclonal antibody specific for LM23 was generated via the immunization of rabbits. The LM23 gene was cloned from rat testis tissue, and LM23 protein was expressed in Escherichia coli. The biological function of LM23 was analyzed with microarray analysis and immunohistochemistry, using a rat model of LM23 gene knockdown. The results suggested that LM23 belongs to the Speedy/Ringo family. LM23 regulated the G₁/S and G₂/M transitions of the cell cycle during spermatogenesis. Downregulation of the LM23 gene during spermatogenesis could lead to the activation of both the Fas-FasL pathway and the mitochondrial pathway. These novel findings indicate that LM23 has a diverse array of functions that are important in both the life and death of the spermatogenic cell.
