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

Codon usage patterns of duck hepatitis A virus (HAV) were studied in the present study. The major trends of codon usage patterns were analyzed using principal component analysis on the basis of the relative synonymous codon usage values. Correlation analysis was utilized to reveal the associations of the first two major axes of PCA and nucleotide- or amino acid-relevant indices. Our results showed that compositional constraint and/or mutational pressure are major factors influencing codon usage bias patterns of HAV. However, the influence of natural selection is also prevalent, as indicated by strongly significant correlations between the hydrophobicity, aromaticity, aliphaticity and ionization and the first axis of PCA. Also, ionization could characterize the second axis of PCA. At last, maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis shows that there are no remarkable geographic clustering patterns of HAV strains in the phylogenetic tree. However, through MANOVA test, there are significant differences on the codon usage patterns among HAV strains from different countries. In conclusion, both mutational pressure and natural selection are of equally great importance to codon usage patterns of duck HAV genomes.
