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

During screening of a rat spinal cord lambda gt11 cDNA library with poly- and monoclonal antibodies against the postsynaptic glycine receptor a cDNA was isolated which covers an open reading frame encoding a protein of calculated mol. wt 94 kd. Sequence analysis identified a novel type of neuron-specific protein (named neuraxin) which is characterized by an unusual amino acid composition, 12 central heptadecarepeats and putative protein and/or membrane interaction sites. The gene encoding neuraxin appears to be unique in the haploid rat genome and conserved in higher vertebrates. Northern blot and in situ hybridization revealed neuraxin mRNA to be expressed throughout the rodent central nervous system (CNS). In spinal cord, neuraxin transcripts were abundant in motoneurons which also expressed glycine receptor subunit mRNA. A bacterial fusion protein containing approximately 90% of the neuraxin sequence was found to specifically bind tubulin. Polyclonal neuraxin antibodies cross-reacted with microtubule-associated protein 5 (MAP5), and a monoclonal antibody against MAP5 recognized the neuraxin fusion construct. Based on these data we suggest that neuraxin is related to MAP5 and may be implicated in neuronal membrane-microtubule interactions.
