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

The telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) is primarily known for its ability to elongate telomeres for maintaining chromosomal integrity and delaying cellular senescence. It plays an important role in cell proliferation, differentiation, tumorigenesis, and aging. Telomerase includes two core components-an internal RNA moiety acting as a template of DNA extension and a catalytic subunit (TERT) which provides catalytic activity. Here, we described the cloning, sequence, and characterization of the TERT gene from Trichinella spiralis (T. spiralis). The prediction results of amino acid sequence showed that it possessed all the motifs characteristics of the TERT family members. T. spiralis TERT (Ts_TERT) cDNA contains an open reading frame encoding a protein with 1,201 amino acids with moleculer mass of 139 kDa and isoelectric point of 9.673, and the protein contains the conserved reverse transcriptase motifs 1, 2, A, B, C, D, and E, as well as the TERT-specific T motifs and the N-terminal conserved motifs GQ, CP, and QFP. While RT-PCR analysis indicates that TERT mRNA is expressed in T. spiralis adult worm, newborn larvae, and muscle larvae.
