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

Gamma-subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is encoded by chrng gene of mouse. This gene is located on chromosome 1, spans 6.5 kb, and contains 12 exons and 11 introns. Previous studies have reported three transcript variants (C1-3) produced by alternative splicing; C1 contains all the 12 reported exons, C2 uses an in-frame alternate splice site in exon-2, and C3 produced by exon-5 skipping. These variants differ in their channel kinetics and opening times. In our study, we report the presence of two new transcript variants (T1 and T2) of chrng expressed in mouse postnatal day 3 and adult skeletal muscles. These transcripts contain novel first coding exon either N1 or N2. N1 is located in the 5' UTR, while N2 is an extended exon-2. 5' extension of exon-2 contains an initiation codon which produces a novel transcript variant. Either of the two exons can splice with the internal exons to produce mature transcripts making different 5' ends of the transcripts. Consequently, the proteins encoded by these two transcripts differ at N-termini. The presence of N2 exon containing transcript was further supported by the availability of EST from the database. These new variants display heterogeneous properties. They differ in the presence of signal peptide, phosphorylation, and acetylation of their amino acid residues of the new N-termini of the gamma subunit.
