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 characterization of casein polymorphism is an essential step in order to understand the genetic basis of milk quality in dairy ruminants. In this work, we report the identification of a regulatory mutation at the buffalo αs1-casein (CSN1S1) gene that alters the normal processing of the primary transcript. Sequencing of CSN1S1 cDNA from individuals harbouring this new variant revealed that its most distinctive feature is the loss of exon 6 that encodes eight amino acids between positions 35-42 of mature protein. In an effort to map the causal mutation, we sequenced a genomic region spanning exons 5-7 of the buffalo CSN1S1 gene. This experiment allowed us to establish that exon 6-skipping is produced by a G to C substitution at the first position of intron 6 that inactivates the donor splice site. This mutation can be typed by PCR-RFLP by using either TaaI or Bpu10I diagnostic restriction enzymes, and it has a frequency of 0.18 in Romanian buffaloes. This exon skipping phenomenon is the first one described in buffalo CSN1S1 locus.
