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 cDNA sequence, their structure, physical properties, signal peptide, hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, subcellular localization domain of transmembrane domain and evolutionary relationship of encoded amino acid sequences were analyzed in squalene synthase of 9 species of ginseng plant using bioinformatics methods on GenBank. The results showed that the averaged similarity of squalene synthase cDNA sequence structure in Ginseng species was 96.245%, the similarity of the amino acid encoding sequence was 95.5%. The secondary structure prediction results showed that the amino acid sequence of 9 squalene synthase had α helix and random coil as the main components. After the phylogenetic analysis in 9 kinds of ginseng species, we found that they can be divided into two subfamilies. The analysis showed that plants, animals, yeasts belonged to different species, the homology was high within plant species and animal species. By analyzing the ginseng species squalene synthase and their encoding gene bioinformatics features, we can provide the theoretical reference for the squalene synthase gene cloning and the genetic manipulation.
