Structure and expression of a single actin gene in Volvox carteri.
Article in Current genetics, 1990. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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.
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
Southern blot analysis of Volvox carteri DNA indicated the presence of a single actin gene; the nucleotide sequence of that gene is reported here. In comparison with plant animal and fungal actins, the derived primary structure of 377 amino acids is highly conserved yielding similarity values of 79% to 94% (including non-identical conservative exchanges). In contrast, the intron structure of the gene is highly unusual: in addition to one intron in the 5' untranslated region (ten nucleotides upstream of the initiator ATG), it has eight introns in the coding region, only three of which are in locations where introns have previously been reported. Transcription starts 26 nucleotides downstream of the putative TATA box and 70 nucleotides downstream of a conspicuous CCAAT motif. A potential polyadenylation signal, TGTAA, is located 366 nucleotides downstream of the terminator TAA. Northern hybridization indicates that the actin gene is transcribed throughout the Volvox life cycle with only a slight depression during the release of juveniles from mother spheroids. This pattern of gene expression suggests that actin may assume various functional roles in the differentiation and growth of Volvox.
