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

Klotho is an aging suppressor gene. In mice, loss of Klotho function causes accelerated aging while increased Klotho expression increases longevity. This study aimed to identify and characterize the orthologue of Klotho in zebrafish, a powerful model organism for the investigation of development and human disease. Zebrafish klotho was identified by a bioinformatics approach, and cloning and sequencing of klotho cDNA confirmed the in silico analysis. The zebrafish Klotho protein has a structure similar to human and mouse Klotho, but it lacks an apparent secretory signal sequence. We can find no evidence of an alternative transcript isoform lacking the transmembrane domain coding sequence as seen in mammals. RT-PCR revealed the expression of klotho during embryonic development and in a wider variety of adult tissues than in mouse. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR demonstrated the relative gene expression profile of zebrafish Klotho during embryogenesis and in adult tissues. In situ hybridization showed an apparently diffuse signal of klotho mRNA expression in the adult zebrafish testis.
