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 apo C-II gene from a patient with apo C-II deficiency has been sequenced after amplification by the polymerase chain reaction. A substitution of an adenosine for a guanosine at position 3002 in exon 3 of the patient's gene was identified by sequence analysis. This mutation leads to the introduction of a premature termination codon (TAA) at a position corresponding to amino acid 37 of mature apo C-II and to the formation of a new Rsa I restriction enzyme site not present in the normal apo C-II gene. Amplification of DNA from family members by the polymerase chain reaction and digestion with Rsa I established that the patient is a true homozygote for the mutation. Analysis of the patient's plasma by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting detected an apo C-II that exhibited abnormal electrophoretic mobility. We propose that the C to A substitution in the apo C-IIPadova gene is the primary genetic defect that leads to premature termination and the synthesis of a truncated 36 amino acid apo C-II that is unable to activate lipoprotein lipase.
